6.4 CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUTER CASE DESIGN
(1) The outer case of the paper outlet side of the autocutter should be designed so that the paper does
not go between the printer mechanism, autocutter and the cutter case.
(2) The outer case should not change the paper loading direction sharply in the area of the paper outlet.
(3) The outer case should be designed so that the user’s fingers or other objects will not be inserted into
the paper outlet.
(4) When the position relation between the movable blade unit and fixed blade unit is not proper, cutting
failure or paper jam may occur. Pay special attention when designing the outer case.
(5) When thermal paper with a small diameter of curl in paper’s curled characteristics is used, paper
jam may occur between the autocutter and the outer case.
When using the thermal paper with a small amount of paper’s curled characteristics, pay special
attention when designing the outer case.
(6) Perform layout so that the outer case position comes to the same position as the tip of the fixed
blade insofar as possible when designing the outer case in the platen unit side. The following
example indicates that the outer case position is lowered by 1.5 mm (C = 1.5 mm) from the fixed
blade.
(7) Design the outer case so that a given space is kept on the upper surface of the movable unit. (See
Figure 6-5)
Figure 6-4 shows a sample outer case design when the autocutter is mounted to the LTP F Series
thermal printer mechanism.
