Cutter Mechanical Assembly Installation
1. Refer to Figure 5.22. Use the four Phillips head screws to attach the Static
Brush Mounting Bracket to the bottom of the Cutter Module.
2. Use the two flat head screws to mount the Media Guide and Upper Cutter
Bracket to the Cutter Module.
3. Carefully work the Cutter Module into position in the Main Frame in front
of the Printhead.
4. Loosely attach the Upper Cutter Bracket to the Side Plate with the Nut Plate
and two socket head cap screws.
5. Align the slots in the Lower Cutter Bracket with the threaded holes in the
Main Frame. Loosely attach the Lower Cutter Bracket with the two socket
head cap screws.
6. With the Cutter Module loosely installed, it is necessary to properly align it
and tighten all of the screws.
Open the Printhead and observe the position of the Tear-Off Bar (in front of
the Platen Roller) and the Rear Cutter Blade. Position the Cutter Module so
that the Rear Cutter Blade is parallel with the outer edge of the Tear-Off
Bar across the entire width of the media path. The Cutter Module should be
positioned as far forward as possible while maintaining parallelism with the
Tear-Off Bar. This should prevent interference of the Rear Cutter Blade
with the Tear-Off Bar.
After the above conditions are both met, tighten all mounting screws.
Carefully tighten the flat head screw that attaches the Upper Cutter Bracket
to the Cutter Module. Be careful not to disturb the position of the Media
Guide; if this part moves out of position, set its height so that its lower edge
is flush with the rear opening in the Cutter Module.
