Chapter 10—Paper Cutter
10.2 Installation
The cutter is easy to install and requires no modifi cation of the printer
itself.
The installation kit contains:
• Cutter unit (1)
• Tray (1)
• Cable (1)
• Cable cover (1)
• #T20 Torx screws and washers (3)
• Installation Instructions (1)
The only tool required is a #T20 Torx screwdriver.
Install the cutter this way:
• Switch off the power and disconnect the power cord and possible inter-
face cables.
• Remove the front/left side moulding that covers the electronics com-
partment as described in Chapter 3.2.
The electronics compartment contains high voltage components (380V).
Always disconnect the power cord before opening the electronics com-
partment!
• In case of an EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial, also remove the front
door, see Chapter 3.3.
• Close the right-hand door and turn the printer upside-down.
• Insert the cutter bracket between the printer’s bottom plate and print
mechanism so the three threaded bushings on the bracket fi ts into the
corresponding holes in the printer’s bottom plate. Fit it using the three
#T20 Torx screws and washers included in the kit.
• Route the cutter cable through the slot in the bottom plate as illustrated
above and connect it fi rmly to J51 at the lower front corner of the CPU
board (marked “FINISHER”).
• Pull the cable forward towards the cutter so the slack comes between
printer and cutter. Lock it in place using the cable cover and the exist-
ing #T20 Torx screw as illustrated above.
• Check that the cutter cable still is properly connected to the CPU
board.
• Swing the clip aside and connect the cable to the connector on the
cutter. Secure the cable with the clip.
• Turn the printer back on its feet.
• Put back the front/left side cover.
• Connect the power cord and any communication cables. Check that the
cutter is closed and switch on the power.
