8. Connect P1 of the Cutter Assembly to J2 of the Cutter CCA, and then secure the connection using
two Screws (Item 6).
There are two cutter cables included with this kit:
Non-ROHS printers: Use Item 8 (32-2430-01)
ROHS printers: Use Item 9 (32-2628-01)
The serial label on the rear of the printer will state if the printer is ROHS compliant.
Connect the Cutter Cable from J1 of the Cutter CCA to J1 of the Main CCA.

10. Replace the electronics cover and secure it using the two previously removed screws. Proceed to Step
C, below.
Step C: Adjusting the Front Plate Brushes
For proper ticket stacking following the cut operation, the Brushes within the Front Plate Assembly must
be adjusted, as follows:
11. Ensure that the Brushes in the Front Plate Assembly are at the widest setting (if necessary , slightly
loosen the Screws and reposition the Brushes; see the drawing below).
12. Manually load ticket stock through the printer and adjust the Media Guides to fit the ticket stock
being used (see the Operator’s Manual for details). Ensure the ticket stock is NOT skewed as it exits
the Ticket Door on the Front Plate Assembly.
Note: If unable to pass ticket stock through the cutter mechanism, the blade may be in the “down” position.
To cycle the blade position, plug the AC power cord into the printer, turn on the power switch, and
allow the printer to initialize (about 30 seconds). Then turn off and unplug the printer.
13. With the Screws on the Front Plate Assembly slightly loosened, move each of the Brushes so that the
Ticket Edges are approximately 1/16 inch (1.5 mm) from the Brush Backing.
Note: Do not over-adjust the Brushes because ticket binding or jamming can occur.

14. Tighten the Screws. Remove the Ticket Stock from the printer.
15. Ensure that the printhead locked down, and then gently lower the printer into its enclosure.
16. 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. Using your
software program, enable the cut function to begin using the Cutter. Test the stacking function by
printing several test tickets. If the tickets are not stacked, or if they are binding, readjust the brushes,
beginning at Step 11, above.

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. Disconnect the interface cable(s).
2. Remove any installed ticket stock and lock the printhead. Carefully raise the printer from the bottom,
guiding it out of the enclosure, and then place the printer on a firm, stable work surface.
3. Remove the two Screws that secure the Electronics Cover to the printer. Grasp the Electronics Cover
from bottom and, while pulling down slightly to free the Catches, remove the cover (see Step A-6,
above, for an illustration).
4. Remove the two screws that secure P1 to the Cutter CCA, and then remove P1 from the Cutter CCA.

6. Using a soft brush or compressed air, remove all debris from the printer and Ticket Door area.
7. Using a soft brush or compressed air, remove all debris from the Cutter Assembly. Then, using a
cotton swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol, clean the Cutter Blade surfaces until all build-up is
removed.
8. Carefully slide the Cutter Assembly into the printer. Ensure that the Guide Pins on the assembly fit
into the Locator Holes in the printer, and then secure the cutter in place using the two Mounting
Screws.

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.
