RECEIPT PRINTER CONFIGURABLE FOR FULL OR PARTIAL CUT

摘要

A paper tape printer includes a receipt printer and a scissor cutter for cutting off a receipt from a paper tape. The scissor cutter includes: a moving blade having a fixed range of motion; and an adjustable stationary blade, which is stationary during a cutting operation and is moveable laterally relative to the moving blade to allow the paper tape to be selectively (i) fully cut when the stationary blade is positioned for a full cut of the paper tape, or (ii) partially cut, when the stationary blade is repositioned laterally to a partial cut position relative to the moving blade, which enables a partial cut of the paper tape. If a full cut is desired, the stationary blade is positioned against the full width of the paper tape. For a partial cut, the stationary blade is positioned against only a portion of the width of the paper tape.
