Claim 7:
8. A media handling system comprising:
a conveyor to move a media along a media path;
a support structure arranged perpendicular to the media path;
a carriage to move in a first direction and in a second direction in a cutting path, the carriage being supported by the support structure;
a support surface that extends parallel to the cutting path so that the media path passes over the support surface; and
a cutting blade provided on the carriage, the cutting blade having a cutting-edge angle and having a fitting pin to engage the carriage, wherein the fitting pin has a first portion movable with respect to the media path, and wherein movement of the first portion is constrained by a radial clearance between the first portion and the carriage;
wherein the fitting pin has a second portion attached to a joining element, wherein the joining element biases the fitting pin towards an alignment position substantially parallel to the media path;
wherein the cutting-edge angle is a yaw rotation angle measured between the cutting path and the cutting blade;
wherein the cutting-edge angle is dynamically determined by contact between the cutting blade and the media on the media path during movement of the carriage;
wherein the cutting blade in conjunction with the support surface are to cut the media.
