Tighten the Allen head cap screw with a 5/32 inch Allen bit socket on a
torque wrench until the slot closes or until a torque of 100 in. lbs.
(11.3 N-m) is reached.
NOTE: Overtightening the screw can damage the Drive Arm and can strip the
threads.
6. Test the Cutter alignment by feeding maximum-width label stock through
the printer and insuring that complete cutting of the label occurs. (If
necessary, repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 to achieve complete cutting of the labels.)
7. With a felt tip pen, draw a line across the outer face of the Upper Drive Arm
and the end of the cutter blade shaft. Should cutter operation problems ever
occur, this “witness mark” will show at a glance if the alignment of the
clamp and the cutter blade shaft has changed.
