Replacing the Paper Cutter Blade

If you notice that your paper isn't cut cleanly, the cutter blade
may need to be replaced. If you use the blade to cut heavy
stock, you will damage the blade and need to replace it. For a
list of media that are not recommended for use with the
cutter, see the User's Guide or Printer Guide.
You can check the status of your cutter by printing a status
sheet. See page 6 for instructions. You can obtain a new cutter
blade from Epson (part number C12C815291).
