6.7.2 Design the Paper Cutter
•
Design paper cutter mounting position so the edge of the cutter blade does not touch with a platen
block when the platen block is set and released.
•
Use a well-cut cutter so that the thermal paper can be cut with less force than paper holding force.
•
Design the blade edge of the cutter as shown in the right figure of Figure 6-10 so that the blade edge
can guide the thermal paper edge after cutting. If designing the blade edge as shown in the left
figure, the paper edge may be caught by the blade edge and result in the thermal paper edge to be
caught inside of the cutter.
•
Set the paper cutter to a position that allows to feed the paper backwards up to 9mm.
