6. Replace the electronics cover. Install and tighten the two inside cover screws and then tighten the two
outside cover screws. (If removed, replace the memory module.)
7. Reconnect the interface cable(s). Plug in the AC power cord and turn ‘On’ the power switch. This
completes the installation procedure. Upon power-up, the printer will automatically sense the
presence of the Cutter, and then will cycle the Cutter 1 or 2 times. Load ticket stock and replace the
access cover. Using your software program, enable the cut function to begin using the Cutter.

Cutter Maintenance
Cutter maintenance is recommended after every 5,000 − 10,000 cuts, an interval that varies depending
upon the type of ticket stock being used. The need for cleaning may also be indicated when the cut
operation becomes slow or labored. To clean the cutter, proceed as follows:
CAUTION
For your safety and to avoid damaging the equipment, follow these precautions:
(1) Always turn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer before servicing the cutter;
(2) Never use a metal object on the blade; and,
(3) Keep fingers and other body parts away from the blade.
1. Turn ‘OFF’ the power switch and unplug the AC power cord. Remove the access cover.
2. Unlock the printhead latch, raise the printhead assembly and remove the ticket stock.
3. If present, remove the Memory Module from the Module Bay. Remove the two Inside Cover Screws
and loosen the two Outside Cover Screws. Raise the Electronics Cover off the printer.

Cutting Requirements
Table 1, below, lists the media requirements for use in the cutter mechanism. For a complete listing of
these requirements, see the Operator’s Manual.
Description
Inches Millimeters Inches Millimeters
Ticket Width 2.0 51 3.25 82
Ticket Weight Maximum 150 g/m2 (see note below)
The values in the following tables are only provided as a guide and should not be used as specifications
since variances within the same basis weight can occur due to the characteristics of the stock. In addition,
similar weight stocks can vary between manufacturers.
Note: The cutter may able to cut heavier ticket stock than indicated, but it is recommended that cutting
performance be verified by testing the cutter with the intended stock.
Table 2 shows the approximate media thickness in mils (thousands of an inch) relative to the metric
weight for that media.
Table 3 shows the different basis weights for the differing media types, which are “equivalent” in
weight when compared to the metric weight.
