Abstract:
1. A sheet cutting device comprising: a cutter including opposed blades opposing each other with a sheet interposed therebetween to cut the sheet to a desired length, the sheet fed in a sheet feed direction along a sheet feed path to the sheet cutting device; a cutter holder holding the cutter and reciprocally movable in a width direction that is along a width of the sheet and that is perpendicular to the sheet feed direction in which the sheet is fed along the sheet feed path to the sheet cutting device, and a guide member including a first path to guide the cutter holder to move along the width of the sheet in a forward direction that is perpendicular to the sheet feed direction to cut the sheet with the cutter and a second path to guide the cutter holder to move along the width of the sheet in a reverse direction that is perpendicular to the sheet feed direction after the sheet is cut with the cutter, wherein the second path is disposed away from the first path in a thickness direction that is perpendicular to the sheet feed direction and that is perpendicular to the width direction of the sheet, wherein, when the cutter holder moves along the second path, the cutter holder is retracted away from the sheet feed path in the thickness direction of the sheet.
