<p>The present invention, in order to provide a conveniently operable recording paper cutting mechanism capable, even if trouble such as recording paper jamming arises during the cutting of the paper to stop a movable cutter, of automatically returning a movable cutter (3) to its home position (H) to cut and remove the jammed part of the recording paper (20), provides for a configuration in which the shifting of a movable cutter in the direction of the arrow A away from its home position H by the revolution of a drive motor (9) causes the movable cutter to cut recording paper and, after cutting the recording paper, the return of the movable cutter back to its home position H causes a swinging board (8) to be released from restraint (15c) by a locking member (13) to enable the swinging board to swing again and the rotation of a drive gear previously transmitted to a spiral shaft to be transmitted to a recording paper feed roller (6). <IMAGE></p> |
