ADJUSTING CUTTER BLADES
Adjustment of the cutter blades may become necessary if the cutter fails to operate properly. This
may be indicated by receipts not being completely cut or paper becoming jammed inside the
printer. Cutter blades are sharp! Keep fingers away from sharp edge of blade when making
adjustments.
