4.3 CUTTER OPERATION
The cutter unit uses a sliding rotary cutting blade [A] which is pulled past a
fixed blade by a drive wire. The rotary cutting blade allows the cutter unit to
cut paper in both directions. There are home position switches [B] at both
ends of the cutter unit. The cutter motor turns off, stopping the cutting action,
when the rotary cutting blade knob plate [C] turns off one of these switches.
