Setting the Autocutter
The TM-U220 autocutter can be set to either “partial cut“ or “full cut“ using the steps below.
Note:
Do not change the cutting type from partial cut to full cut after the printer has been used. Otherwise, the
printer may not be reliable, because the wear-out level of the cutter blade differs.
1. Make sure the power supply is disconnected.
2. Open the roll paper cover, and remove it. (See page 4-16.)
3. Loosen the screw as indicated in following figure.
4. Lift the top of the cutter unit upward towards you, and remove from the dowel.
5. When you select partial cut (default), you have to adjust the dowel to the right, as
shown. When you select full cut, you have to adjust the dowel to left, as shown.
6. Tighten the 2 screws. Attach the roll paper cover again, and install the shaft that was
taken out in step 2.
Note:
❏
Run the self-test to confirm the cutter action. (See page 2-2.)
