Replacing the Paper Cutter Blade
If you notice that your paper isn’t cut cleanly, the cutter blade may need to
be replaced. If you use the blade to cut heavy stock or non-EPSON media,
you may need to replace it more often (see page 76 for paper types you
shouldn’t attempt to cut with the built-in 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 131). When you need a new
cutter blade, contact EPSON and request part number C12C815241.
Follow these steps to replace the blade:
1. Make sure that the printer is on and the front cover is closed.
2. Press the
SelecType button on the control panel. You see PRINTER
SETUP
.
3. Press d until you see
MAINTENANCE, then press r. You see PWR
CLEANING
.
4. Press d until you see
CUTTER REPL, then press r. You see EXEC.
5. Press
Enter. The carriage moves to the cutter replacement position.
6. You see a message on the control panel telling you to open the front
cover. Open the cover to access the carriage.
