In order to operate the Cutter, it needs to be in the parked position. If not, the Cutter will not be engaged by
the Cutter Bridge and the printer will not perform the cutting action.
Whenever the printer initializes, it performs a parking movement with the Carriage to ensure that the Cutter
is left in the appropriate position.
The printer does not have any feedback about the cutter engagement action. Hence, if for any reason the
engagement is not performed correctly, the printer will continue operating as if the engagement has
occurred.
How activation works
1. Pre-activation phase: The Cutter Engagement Feature of the Bridge gets into the funnel of the Cutter
Module grooving the Cutter to ensure the correct position for activation.
