Abstract:
1. A rolled media cutting device, comprising: a media support means for supporting at least one roll of rolled media; a surface upon which the rolled media can be unrolled for movement along a path of travel; a frame including a pair of arms pivotally connected at one end to said media support means; first and second parallel spaced apart cutting guides extending between said arms in a direction perpendicular to the path of travel of unrolled media on said surface; a first cutter slidable on the first cutting guide for cutting the unrolled media in the direction of the path of travel of the media; a second cutter slidable on the second cutting guide for cutting the unrolled media perpendicular to the path of travel of the media; said first cutter being releasably secured at a desired width position on said first cutting guide by a frictional force between said first cutter and said first cutting guide; an array of indicators positioned along the length of said first cutting guide; a computing system comprising a user input device, said user input device for entering the dimensions of a package to be wrapped by a piece of rolled media; and said computing system operably connected to said array of indicators and operating to control at least one indicator to indicate the desired width position of said first cutter based upon the entered package dimensions, thereby aiding a user in the correct placement of the first cutter to facilitate accurate cutting the rolled media.
