Specifications

7. The Rear Cutter Blade is held in position by two springs. If these springs
touch the Tear-Off Bar or other printer parts, the Rear Cutter Blade will not
float properly and will cause excessive wear and premature failure of the
Cutter Blades.
8. Check the clearance between the back of the Cutter Mechanism and the
Tear-Off Bar by inserting a screwdriver from the front of the Cutter
Mechanism and press the top of the Rear Cutter Blade toward the printer.
The blade should move a minimum of .030 inches. If necessary, loosen the
four Phillips head screws on the bottom of the Cutter Module and reposition
the Cutter Mechanism away from the Tear-Off Bar.
9. Attach the E-ring and washer to the Upper Drive Arm at the top of the Long
Drive Link.

2. The Upper Drive Arm is pre-assembled to the Cutter Module. Assemble the
Long Drive Link of the Drive Link Assembly over the connecting post on the
Upper Drive Arm and secure it with the washer and E-ring.
3. Attach the Lower Drive Arm of the Drive Link Assembly to the Cutter
Motor Shaft. Loosen the set screws to insure the Lower Drive Arm rotates
