APPENDIX C: RECOVERY FROM THE AUTO CUTTER ERROR • If a forei gn object such as a push pin or paper clip drops in the auto cutter and causes t he auto
cutter to lock up, the printer enters an error stat e and begins the recovery operati on automatically.
(The error LED flashes continuously, but it i s possible for the error to be corrected automatical ly.)
If the problem is not serious, the auto cutt er returns to its normal position without any int ervention
by the user.
I f the auto cutter does not return to its normal position by itself, f ollow the steps below to correct
the problem:

knob.
2) Rotate t he cutter motor knob to the direction indic ated by an arrow on the autocutter unit.
3) Fol lowing the instructions on the caution label , rotate the knob until the indicator ▼
appears in the hole.

DLE ENQ n command. Nex t, check the ERROR LED. I f the ERROR LED is not off, repeat the
same procedure and confirm that the ERROR LED i s off. W hen the ERROR LED is off, the auto
cutter blade has returned to its normal positi on and the roll paper cover can be opened. Open
