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. You can also check the status of your
cutter by printing the status check sheet or using the Printer Status menu on
the control panel. See page 5-4 or 5-3 for instructions.
