 Cutter solenoid
The solenoid is attached to the carriage on the opposite side of the home
position and it activates the cutter to cut roll paper. In order to cut roll paper
evenly, the following method is used:
1) The cutter cuts from the right of center (when facing the printout) to the
right edge.
2) The cutter cuts from several centimeters inside the left edge to the left
edge.
3) The cutter cuts the remaining uncut portion, in the center, from the left
side to the right.
