Abstract:
A transaction-based printer (10) has a sheet drive (17) for forwarding a sheet through a printing station (29) to a cutting station (35) where the sheet is severed from a spool by a rotary cutter (41). A kicker element (67) is mounted in the cutting station (35). Movement of the kicker element (67) is coordinated through the cutter drive (43) with that of the rotary cutter (41) so that the severed sheet is kicked into a bin (77) located in the top cover (13) of the printer. The printer can be, for example, an ink-jet, dot matrix, dye sublimation or thermal printer used to print tickets, vouchers, coupons or the like.
