4. MECHANISM DESCRIPTION

4.1 Cutter Drive (Cutter mode)

The printer supplies DC +27 V to the cutter motor to rotate the cutter motor and clutch counter clockwise.
The arm swings like a pendulum and moves the fixed slide cutter up and down to make a cut.

After making a cut the arm turns the micro switch off and the cutter home position is detected.

When the cutter does not return to the home position because of a paper jam, an error occurs and the
next piece of paper will not be cut.
