Claim 13:
14. A method for processing a dunnage material, the method comprising:
in a dunnage crumpling device, crumpling supply material into low-density dunnage and moving the dunnage in a dispensing direction along a material path while maintaining a biasing member in a dispensing position sufficiently spaced from the material path to allow the crumpled dunnage to be dispensed past a cutting member;
moving the biasing member from the dispensing position to a cutting position in bending, by a biasing member such that the biasing member deflects dunnage in the material path around an edge of the cutting member; and
with the biasing member in the cutting position, retracting the dunnage backwards, causing the cutting member to begin to sever the dunnage material.
