Abstract
A cutter drive for a computer driven printer/plotter employs a cutter carriage which is separate from the printer carriage and which is attachable to and detachable from the printer carriage to be moved thereby without a separate cutter drive. Camming surfaces on a pickup arm and a pickup hook permit the cutter carriage to be mechanically engaged and disengaged from the printer carriage without any motors or magnets.
