About the Cutting Mechanism

Your plotter cutter consists of a stylus blade in a holder, mounted on a track in your
printer. The stylus is moved mechanically across the tape in the design you
designate.
The stylus consists of the cutting blade and the apparatus that holds the blade in
place. It is contained in a holder that fits into the tracking mechanism in your
printer. Figure B-2 on page B-4 provides a close-up view of the stylus holder.
To produce a cut out, the printer moves the stylus using the tracking mechanism
across the tape, cutting the tape in the design you specified. The printer delivers the
cut out label with the backing in place. All you have to do is strip the cut out from
the backing.
You may need to adjust the depth of the blade within the stylus from time to time,
and you may need to replace or clean the stylus holder as well. The sections that
follow describe these procedures.
