General Notes
Proper Usage
The cutter option (subsequently referred to as the "cutter") is a peripheral device for label printers of the type TTK, TTX 350, 64-xx, AP 5.4, AP5.6 or
AP7.t. The cutter is designed for cutting label material after it has been printed.
Technical Specificat ions
Properties The cutter blade cuts self-adhesive, cardboard and synthetic materials up to
240 g/m
2
and up to a material thickness of 0.9 mm – considering the following
exceptions:
Cut width Cutters of varying widths are intended for use with printers of the 64-xx series
to allow labels to be cut up to the maximum material width of the printer being
used.
Double cut With the double cut function, the operator can remove gaps from the label
material where required. Here the cut gap can be set from 1 to 5 mm.
CAUTION! - Keep to the following rules in order not to damage or to soil the
cutter blade.
« The 8" wide cutter must not be used for materials exceeding 160 g/m
2
.
« Fiber strengthened materials (e.g. Tyvek) must not be cut.
« If using self-adhesive material, cut between the labels (backing paper).
Otherwise, the adhesive will stick to the cutter blades and will have a
negative effect on the cutting function.

System requirements
Cutters in the appropriate width can be operated with the following printers:
System Requirements
Preparation for peripheral devices
For using the printers with a cutter, they must be especially equipped
(Tab. 2). This so called peripherals preparation consists mainly of an additional output stage board for the motor of the peripheral device and of some additional connection cables.
Peripheral test TTK/TTX 350:
« Set parameter
SYSP > PEPH to KNIF.
If the printer displays the status message ST68 after the ENTER key is pressed, the peripheral board is not installed. If ST68 does not appear or if a different status message is displayed, then the printer has been set up for
peripheral devices.
64-xx / AP 5.4 / AP5.6 / AP7.t:
« Make a service status printout: Call parameter
PRINT INFO > Service Status.
64-xx and AP x.x printers are equipped with peripheral preparation if the topic
“Peripheraldriver” can be found below the header “Peripheraldriver” on the
printout.

Connecting the cutter
The cutter (fig. 1) is secured to the printer
by two screws and an adjustment plate. By
moving the adjustment plate, the cutting
line can be set parallel to the print image.
Tools
• Allan key 3mm
• Socket wrench, size 8
Assembly / Disassembling
1. Remove the tear-off edge (3) by
unscrewing the thumb screw (4).
2. Remove the cutter cover (1) by
unscrewing the two fastening screws (2,
fig. 2).
3. Screw on the cutter in place of the cutter
cover. To do this use the fastening screws
of the cutter cover (2) (2x Allan key screws
M 5x20). Initially just screw them in
slightly.
P Continued overleaf.
WARNING!
Danger of injury if the cutter is
activated unintentionally!
« Before beginning service work,
switch off the printer and pull out
the mains power supply plug.

4. Attach the adjustment plate (5) by
unscrewing the top left hexagonal screw
(6) on the print or draw unit, place the
adjustment plate underneath, and then
tighten the screw again - initially only
lightly (fig. 4).
¯ The square axle of the cutter unit must
rest in the square recess of the adjustment
plate.(fig. 4)
¯ AP 5.4/5.6 only:
The adjustment plate differs from the
64-xx/TTX 350/TTX version. It is provided
with every AP 5.4/5.6 printer (fixed on the
printer bottom with adhesive tape).
5. If necessary, position the adjustment
plate (4) with the help of the hex screw (6)
so that the cut image and print image are
lying parallel (fig. 5).
6. Tighten all three fastening screws.
7. Plug the knife motor cable into the socket
on the front of the printer (fig. 6).
Function check for AP 5.4 / AP5.6 /
AP7.t
For testing purposes can be triggered a cut
by calling parameter
SERVICE FUNCTION >
Cutter Test
. This way, the cutter function can
be tested without changing the printer peripheral setting.
CAUTION! - Under no circumstances
should the plug be attached or removed when the device is switched
on, as otherwise the device electronics could be damaged.
