<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of a jam when a medium is ejected. <P>SOLUTION: A medium cutting device 10 cutting a conveyed continuous medium 5 into a predetermined length includes: a cutting section 92 that has a freely rotatable cutting roller 95 having on its outer circumferential surface a cutting blade 94 that cuts the continuous medium 5, and an anvil roller 96 disposed opposite the cutting roller 95; and a brush roller 93a that is disposed downstream of the cutting section 92 in the direction of conveyance and opposite the cutting section 92, and prevents a sheet-like recording medium 87 cut by the cutting section 92 from being wrapped around one of the rollers of the cutting section 92. The linear velocity of the outermost circumference of the brush roller 93a is made higher than the speed at which the continuous medium 5 is conveyed to the cutting section 92. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
