Print Mechanism
During printing, the print mechanism moves the paper through the print zone below
the static printhead.

Cutter
The NorthStar cutter is designed to provide a complete cut of continuous media in the
cross- web direction. This will provide the ability to singulate labels and enable a break
in continuous media to allow servicing of the printhead.The cutter has a design target
of providing a 400,000 cut life on thin tag media. Cuts are expected to execute in 0.4
seconds at up to 80 8.5inch cuts/minute.
The cutter unit can be removed or replaced, if necessary, without affecting the
performance of the NorthStar.
