UBI EasyCoder 501 – Technical Manual
PAPER CUTTER
All EasyCoder 501 models can easily be fitted with an optional
Paper Cutter, provided the printer is not also equipped with a label-
taken sensor (LTS). The cutter unit is fitted on the same hinges as
the front door, which it replaces, and is connected by a single cable
to the DIN-connector on the printer's front.
The Paper Cutter is available both as a factory-installed option and
as an upgrading kit.
The Paper Cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-
adhesive paper strip or through the backing paper between labels.
It must not be used to cut through any kind of adhesive, which would
stick to the cutting parts and rapidly render the cutter inoperable –
possibly also causing damage to the electric motor.
Maximum paper thickness is 175
µ
m (
≈
175 grammes/m
2
) for
normal paper-based materials.
The Paper Cutter increases the printer's total weight by approx. 1.0
kgs (=2.2 lbs) and its length by 28 mm (1.1").
