6-3. Releasing a Locked Cutter (Auto Cutter Mode only)

If the auto cutter locks up or fails to cut the paper, follow the steps below.

WARNING

Since working on the cutter may be dangerous, be sure to turn off the printer rst.

(1) Set the power switch to OFF to turn off the printer.

(2) Ordinarily, a locked cutter will recover automatically by closing all the covers and turning the power back ON.

Recovery means that the locked cutter has been released, so steps (3) and thereafter are unnecessary. If the cutter

has not recovered, proceed to step (3).

(3) Pull the cover open lever towards you, and open the printer cover. The printer cover may not open due to the

cutterbeinglocked.Inthiscase,followsteps(4)and(5)torstopenthefrontcoverandremovethetearbar.If

a paper cutter is located at the paper outlet slot. Be careful not to touch the cutter blade.
