Abstract
A rotary knife mechanism for severing record media is carried along with the printing mechanism to provide a compact cutting device for full or partial cutting of the media in either direction of travel of the printing mechanism. The position of the rotary knife in relation to a cooperating member is controlled by a solenoid programmed in timed manner to move the knife from a cam-supported position to an operating position as the printing mechanism is caused to be traversed across the printer.
