Abstract

A printing mechanism is provided with a rotary cutter mounted on a printing trolley to enable a recording medium or document to be cut as the printing trolley moves during a printing operation. The recording medium is supported by a platen which has a counteracting edge cooperating with the rotary cutter and a control mechanism operates to actuate the rotary cutter between an active position for cutting and a lifted inactive position with a spring operating to apply a spring force against the rotary cutter tending to urge it against the counteracting edge.
