6.3. REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
Depending on the kind of roll media used, paper dust gathers in the cutter slot and on the cutter blade edge.
This may cause bad sheet off quality. In this case, replace or clean the cutting blade or/and clean the cutter
slot.
The cutting blade is a consumable item so if the blade loses sharpness, replace it.
We recommend replacing the cutting blade regularly.
Step 1:
Switch off the printer and pull the printing head to the centre of the printer.
Step 2:
Take out the cutting blade by pushing the cutter head down and rotating the cutter arm towards you.
Either clean the cutting blade with a dry cloth or replace it.
Caution:
There is a spring fitted in the hole of the cutter head. Be careful not to loose it while
replacing the cutting blade.
Step 3:
Insert a new cutting blade in the hole of the cutter head. While pushing the cutting blade down, put the cutter
arm back over the cutting blade. A cutting blade can only be inserted in one direction.
