<p>A cutting mechanism for a printing apparatus is described. The cutting mechanism is particularly suitable for tape printers. In the cutting mechanism, one of a cutting blade (32) and an anvil (38) is mounted for rolling motion with respect to the other so that as the rolling motion occurs a cut is made through the tape. Moreover, the cutting mechanism can be actuated by a handle (38a) which lies flush with the printer casing and which can be actuated externally of the casing. The cutting mechanism is thus compact and effective. <IMAGE></p> |
