Abstract:
A cutter device for cutting recording paper on a transport path, the cutter device comprising:a fixed blade disposed on a first side of the transport path; a first movable blade generally disposed facing the fixed blade, the first blade being displaceable between a waiting position spaced from the fixed blade on a second side of the transport path and a cutting position across the transport path to slidably cross the fixed blade; a second movable blade disposed adjacent the first movable blade in a width direction of the recording paper and generally disposed facing the fixed blade, the second blade being displaceable between a waiting position spaced from the fixed blade on the second side of the transport path and a cutting position across the transport path to slidably cross the fixed blade; and a driving mechanism coupled with at least one of the first movable blade and the second movable blade via a pivotally mounted link lever, the driving mechanism pivoting the link lever to move the first movable blade and the second movable blade between the waiting position and the cutting position, wherein at least one of the first movable blade and the second movable blade is rectilinearly displaceable in a direction approximately orthogonal to the transport path.
