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.
Note: If the optional SpectroProofer accessory is mounted on the printer, you will have to remove the mount to replace the cutter. See the SpectroProofer manual for instructions on removal and installation.
  1. Remove all paper from the printer.
  2. Press the  home button, if necessary.
  3. Select Menu > Maintenance > Replace Cutter > Start. The cutter moves to the replacement position.
  4. Press down on the knob of the cutter replacement cover and pull the cover down and towards you to remove it.


  5. 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.
  6. Insert the screw into the new cutter as shown and align it with the hole on the product.


  7. Tighten the cutter screw securely.


    Note: Make sure the screw is tightened securely, otherwise the cut position may shift slightly.
  8. Insert the base of the cutter replacement cover into the printer and push in the top part until it clicks into place.


  9. Select OK. The cutter moves into position.
