Paper Cutter
Description
The EasyCoder 301 can easily be fitted with an optional Paper
Cutter. The cutter unit is fitted on the same hinges as the front
door,whichitreplaces,andisconnectedbyasinglecabletothe
upper-most connector on the printer's front.
The paper cutter is available as a field-installable upgrading kit
only.
The paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-
adhesive paper strip or through the backing paper between
labels. It must not be used to cut through any kind of adhesive
or other soft material, that may stick to the cutting parts and
render the cutter inoperable, which may damage the electric
motor.
Allowedpaperthicknessis60µm–175µm(≈60–175grammes/
m2) for normal paper-based materials.
Minimum practical copy length is 38.1 mm (1.5").
The Paper Cutter increases the printer’s total weight to approx.
5.6 kgs (= 15 lbs) and its length to 396 mm (15,6").
The Paper Cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate
cleaning and paper load. A microswitch prevents unintentional
cutting operations when the cutter is tilted forward.
The printer's built-in label-taken sensor does not work in con-
nection with a cutter.

the printer is rebooted. During firmware update, the cutter will perform
repeated cutting operations. It is therefore recommended to disconnect the

The cutter is activated by CUT or CUT ON instructions in the
EasyCoder 301 Direct Protocol.
The following values are recommended for cutting between
labels and for variable length strip. In both cases, the start
adjustment is calculated to allow the paper web be pulled back
after cutting, so printing can start directly at the forward edge.
