A paper web is moved from an upstream source by a transport mechanism, and is cut into individual sheets of paper by a blade. The transport mechanism operates in a start-and-stop motion cycle to move the web intermittently. During the stop periods, the blade cuts the web. The transport mechanism includes a driving member, and also includes a driven member for performing a start-and-stop motion in response to simultaneous non-stop motion of the driving member. The driven member is arranged to cause the web to move to the blade, and each cutting occurs when the driven member is in a substantially stopped position. The interface between the driving member and the driven member is mechanical only.
