Cutter Assembly

With the optional cutter assembly installed, labels or endless media may be

cut off immediately after being printed.

The cutter is controlled and powered by the peripheral port of the Apollo.

The firmware of the printer allows a backfeed of the label stock so that it is

always possible to print the last label in its entirety before it is cut off.

The cutter assembly is delivered in a separate package.

Please keep the original packaging in case the cutter must be returned !

the first label is protruding slightly beyond the printhead (1).

3. Turn the printhead lever (2) counter-clockwise until it stops.

4. Remove the tear-off plate (5) from the guide holes (3).

5. Slide the cutter (4) into the guide holes (3) .

6. Turn the lever (2) clockwise until it stops.

7. Connect the cutter cable (6) to the 15 pin peripheral port on the front of the

Apollo.

8. Switch the printer ON. The cutter will perform a synchronized cutting cycle.

9. Press the key. The printer will feed one unprinted label forwards

which will be cut off by the cutter. The label stock feed is now synchro-

nized for the start of the printing process.
