Abstract: A printable medium support for a printer comprises a support element to support a printable medium, wherein the support element is movable between a protruding configuration to support the printable medium, and a retracted configuration in which the support element is at least partially retracted in a first direction. The printable medium support comprises an actuating element to move the support element between the protruding configuration and the retracted configuration.

Abstract: A cutter assembly for a printable medium comprises a cutter to cut the printable medium, a trench adjacent to the cutter, and a trench cover, the trench cover at least partially covering the trench. The trench cover is movable between a supporting configuration to support the printable medium, and an open configuration to receive portions of the printable medium in the trench. The cutter assembly comprises an elastic element for biasing the trench cover towards the supporting configuration. The cutter comprises an engaging element and the engaging element engages the trench cover to move the trench cover from the supporting configuration towards the open configuration.

Abstract: A method includes placing a cutter module in an engaging position; moving a positioner associated with the cutter module away from a homing position to contact and drag the cutter module until it is detected that the cutter module hits a first obstacle; and aligning the cutter module with the positioner; wherein, in the engaging position, the cutter module is in the movement path of the positioner.

Abstract: Examples of print media cutting procedures and devices are described. The print media is cut with a first cutting module while the print medium is advanced through the device. The print media is then reversed before being cut with a second cutting module. The first cutting module can be moved laterally at the same time as the print medium is moved in the reverse direction.

Abstract: A cutter arrangement for a printer is described, the cutter arrangement including a cutter module slidably arranged on a shaft, the shaft extending in a direction perpendicular to a media advance direction of the printer, wherein the cutter module comprises a movable cutting blade and a transmission group transmitting rotation of the shaft to movement of the cutting blade.
