12. Paper Cutter
12.1 Description
The standard model of EasyCoder 301 (as opposed to the LinerLess
model) can easily be fitted with an optional Paper Cutter. The cutter
unit is fitted on the same hinges as the front door, which it replaces,
and is connected by a single cable to the upper-most connector on
the printer's front.
The paper cutter is available as a field-installable upgrading kit
only.
The paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-adhesive
paper strip or through the backing paper between labels. It must not
be used to cut through any kind of adhesive or other soft material,
that may stick to the cutting parts and render the cutter inoperable,
which may damage the electric motor.
Maximum paper thickness is 250
µ
m (
≈
250 grammes/m
2
) for
normal paper-based materials.
Minimum practical copy length is 38.1 mm (1.5").
The Paper Cutter increases the printer’s total weight to approx. 5.6
kgs (= 15 lbs) and its length to 396 mm (15,6").
The Paper Cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate cleaning
and paper load. A microswitch prevents unintentional cutting
operations when the cutter is tilted forward.
The printer's built-in label-taken sensor does not work in connec-
tion with a cutter.
Note!
The cutter will return to home position when the power is turned on and when
the printer is rebooted. During firmware update, the cutter will perform
repeated cutting operations when running firware version 1.08 or earlier
versions. In such a case. disconnect cutter prior to update.
