Canceling Cutter Lock
(1) As referring to "4. 6 Removing Paper Jam", remove the roll paper remains inside the paper course. The auto cutter performs initialization, returning the blade to home position and canceling alarm state. (3) When the blade does not return to home position or alarm state is not canceled by Item 2 operation, turn off the power switch and, by turning the emergency knob inside the hole at the bottom of the main unit in the arrowed direction, return the auto cutter blade to home position. (4) Fully remove remaining paper on the cutter blade through using tweezers.
CAUTION Since print head and motor are hot, do not carry out this action right after printing. For
removing the remaining paper, do not tou ch the surface of heating unit of the print head by naked hands or by a metal piece etc. In case of using this printer at paper cutter disable mode, make sure to confirm the cutter blade is in the home position. In case the cutter blade is not in the home position, return this blade to the home position by following the above procedure.
