Replacing the Paper Cutter Blade

If you notice that your paper isn’t being cut cleanly, the cutter blade may need to be replaced. If you use the blade to cut heavy stock, you will damage the blade and need to replace it. See page 57 for a list of media that do not work with the cutter.

You can check the status of your cutter by printing the status check sheet or viewing its status on the control panel. See page 121 for instructions.

Caution: Do not try to slide the carriage by hand, or you may damage the printer.
