Replacing the Paper Cutter Blade

If you notice that your paper isn’t cut cleanly, the cutter blade may need to be replaced. If you use the blade to cut heavy stock or non-EPSON media, you may need to replace it more often. You can also check the status of your cutter by printing the status check sheet or using the Printer Status menu on the control panel. See page 2-3or 2-4for instructions.

To obtain a new cutter blade (part number C815131), contact your dealer.
