UBI EasyCoder 401 Linerless – Installation Instructions 1 PAPER CUTTER KIT The paper cutter is factory fitted on the EasyCoder 401 Linerless Cutter model (EC 401 LLC) and can be fitted as an option on the EasyCoder 401 Linerless Tear-Off model (EC 401 LLT) which thereby is upgraded to EC 401 LLC standard. The cutter can easily be opened for paper load and cleaning. The linerless paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous linerless paper strip and is thus provided with a cutting mechanism designed to cut and feed linerless paper without the adhesive sticking to the various parts. The cutter has a built-in label-taken sensor/jam detector, and a safety switch that prevents it from operating when the anvil shear is open. The cutter kit consists of: • One Linerless Cutter Unit • One Guide Plate • This Installation Instructions leaflet Maximum paper thickness is 175 µm (≈ 175 grammes/m2) for paper-based linerless materials. The Paper Cutter increases the printer’s total weight by approx. 1.0 kgs (=2.2 lbs) and its length by 28 mm (1.1") without the guide plate and 58 mm (2.3") with the guide plate fitted at the front of the cutter.
