If roll media are used, the cutter unit attached on the front of the spur unit cuts the leading end of the media on loading and cuts the media on ejection. Whether to
perform cutting or not is determined by the choice of the main menu and the specifications of the printer driver.
The cutter unit is moved up and down by the cutter lift motor. When cut sheets are used, the cutter unit escapes to the specified position (moves up) to prevent the
trailing edge of the ejected cut sheet from remaining in the cutter unit.
The cutter in the cutter unit stands by at the cutter home position, except when it cuts roll media. Power from the cutter drive motor is imparted to the circular belt
to move the cutter from left to right for cutting roll media.
