Abstract: According to an example, a cutting module may comprise a carriage and a cutting blade, wherein the carriage may be capable of reciprocating movement along a cutting path. The carriage may be supported by a support structure and the cutting blade may have a fitting pin to engage with the carriage. During a first direction movement along the cutting path, the fitting pin may obtain a first cutting-edge angle. During a second direction movement along the cutting path, the fitting pin may obtain a second cutting-edge angle.

Abstract: A printing device and method is described comprising: controlling movement of a printing medium along a printing medium path to position the printing medium relative to at least one printhead to allow printing on the printing medium by the at least one printhead; and applying a plurality of respective elastic forces in a direction substantially perpendicular to the printing medium path, wherein the respective elastic forces are applied by a plurality of elastic elements of a modular assembly arranged laterally across a width of the printing medium path, wherein the printing medium acts against the elastic forces of the respective elastic elements of the modular assembly.

Abstract: A printing device includes a supply roller on which a roll of substrate is wound, and a tension motor to apply a tension to the roll of substrate. The printing device includes a drive roller to advance the substrate from the roll through a print zone, a drive roller motor to rotate the drive roller, and a drive roller motor controller to apply a drive roller motor signal to the drive roller motor. The printing device includes a closed loop tension controller to adjust the tension applied by the tension motor to the roll of substrate based on the drive roller motor signal applied to the drive roller motor.
