Section 4 Maintenance
7. Check the clearance between the back of the cutter mechanism and the tear bar by
inserting a screwdriver from the front of the cutter mechanism and press the top of
the lower cutter blade toward the printer. The blade should move a minimum of
0.030 in. (0.7 mm). If necessary, loosen the four screws on the bottom of the cutter
module and reposition the cutter mechanism away from the tear-off bar.
Install the Drive Link Assembly
Refer to Figure 4-78.
1. Remove the screw from the mounting post on the drive link assembly (14). Attach
the mounting post to the main frame using the screw just removed (14).
2. The upper drive arm is pre-assembled to the cutter module. Place the long drive link
of the drive link assembly (16) over the connecting post on the upper drive arm and
secure it with the E-ring (15).
3. Attach the lower drive arm of the drive link assembly (16) to the cutter motor shaft.
Loosen the screws to ensure the lower drive arm rotates freely on the motor shaft.
4. Apply a small amount of grease to the slot in the drive link assembly (16) where the
bearing will ride. Remove any excess grease to avoid damaging the optical sensor.
Install the Cutter Circuit Board and Optical Sensor
1. Refer to Figure 4-80. Attach the power cable (3) to J2 on the cutter circuit board.
2. Attach the data cable (4) to J1 on the cutter circuit board.
3. Locate the four standoffs on the printer frame where the cutter board will be
mounted.
Notes • While tightening the upper cutter bracket mounting screw, be careful
not to change the position of the media guide. If the media guide moves out of
position, set its height so the lower edge is flush with the rear opening in the
cutter mechanism.
The lower cutter blade is held in position by two springs. If these springs touch
the tear bar or other printer parts, the lower cutter blade will not float properly
and will cause excessive wear and premature failure of the cutter blades.
Note • For part identification, refer to Table 4-6.
Caution:
The printer electronics are susceptible to static discharge. Before proceeding, it
is highly recommended that the technician wear an antistatic wrist strap
connected to the printer chassis.
