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 edges of blade while making
adjustments.
Adjust After Incomplete Cuts
1. Follow the procedure for accessing the printer.
2. Loosen the hex adjusting screw (located on the lower left side of the cutter) using a 2.5 mm
hex key. Do not use pliers; damage to the screw head may result. Pivot the bottom cutter
blade upward. Tighten the hex screw to lock the blade in place.
3. Perform a few self-tests to make sure the cutter operates properly.
4. Return the printer slide assembly to its normal position and lock it in place with the hex head
screw.
5. Close and lock the printer access door.
NOTE: Make sure the printer door lock is drawn tight in order to insure a watertight seal.
