Epson U220B - TM Two-color Dot-matrix Printer Technical Reference Guide

3-28 Setup Rev. D
3.4.7 Select Autocutter action
The autocutter action on the TM-U220 can be either “partial cut“ or “full cut.“ The procedure to
change from one to the other is described below.
Note:
It is recommended to feed approximately 2.116 mm or more in advance of printing to prevent dot
displacement after cutting.
The cutting type (partial cut or full cut) must be selected before the printer is first used. If the cutting type
is changed from partial cut to full cut after the printer has been used, 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.
3. Push and take out the shaft from the inside of the Frame, and release the three hooks.
