need to be replaced. If you use the blade to cut heavy stock, you will damage 
the blade and need to replace it. See page 48 for a list of media that do not 
work with the cutter.
You can check the status of your cutter by printing the status check sheet or 
viewing its status on the control panel. See page 103 for instructions.
