UBI EasyCoder 401 Linerless – Technical Manual
The cutter mechanism consists of a rotating shear and a spring-
loaded anvil blade. To prevent the adhesive to stick to the cutting
parts, the rotating shear is lubricated with a thin film of silicon oil
at each cutting cycle, and the anvil blade is provided with a special
“non-stick” coating. Nevertheless, regular cleaning from adhesive
residue at the cutting edge of the anvil blade at an interval of
approximately 50,000 cuts is essential for troublefree operation.
Proceed as follows:
• Fold down the cutter. Be careful not to bend the guide plate, if
fitted.
• Disconnect the spring-loaded brace from the arm at the side
opposite to the motor and fold back the anvil blade. A microswitch
prevents the cutter from being operated while the anvil blade is in
open position.
• Soak a cotton swab with WD-40 multi-spray (or similar)
1
and rub
it against the cutting edge of the anvil blade to dissolve any
adhesive residue.
• Inspect the interior of the cutter for possible shreds of labels,
adhesive residue and similar. If necessary, clean using a cleaning
card or a cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol.
• Close the anvil blade and lock the arm with the brace.
• Fold up the cutter and the printer is ready for operation.
