10. AUTOMATIC CUTTER

The TSP442 comes equipped with a swing-type automatic paper cutter.

The cutter operates in response to data commands. To enable cutter operation,
set Memory Switch #2 to indicate that the cutter is installed.

NEVER place fingers or metal objects in the cutter area.

Be sure to completely remove any taped area from paper rolls before loading
then. Residual adhesive can stick to the cutter area and cause problems.

If a jam occurs in the cutter area, switch off the power, use tweezers to remove
the jammed paper, then switch the power back on. The printer will return the
blade to the home position.

Never clean the cutter blade with alcohol or any other solvent, as this may
remove the blade’s lubrication and shorten the blade life.
