Replacing the Cutter

If you notice that your paper does not cut cleanly, you may need to replace the cutter. You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver.
Caution:
Do not remove the protective material from the new cutter until instructed to do so. Do not drop the cutter or knock it against anything or you may chip the blade.
  1. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  2. Select Settings > Maintenance > Replace Cutter > Start.
  3. Open the cutter cover.


  4. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to loosen the screw holding the cutter in place and carefully remove the cutter. Place the cutter in a plastic bag and dispose of it properly.


    Warning: Keep the cutter out of the reach of children. The blade is sharp and can cause injury.
  5. Align the pins on the new cutter with the holes in the product and insert the cutter. Tighten the cutter screw securely.


    Note: Make sure the screw is tightened securely, otherwise the cut position may be slightly shifted or skewed.
  6. Remove only the protective material from the cutter shown here.


    Note: Do not remove the protective piece shown here.


  7. Select OK. The cutter moves into position and cuts off the protective piece. Remove the protective piece from the printer.
  8. Close the cutter cover.
