Abstract
A system automatically cuts recording media into non-standard sizes and shapes. The system includes a support for supporting recording media, a feeder mechanism for transporting recording media onto the support, a cutting head having at least one cutting member, and a controller for actuating reciprocation of the cutting member so that the reciprocating cutting member cooperates with the support to pierce the recording media. The cutting head and feeder mechanism are controlled so that the cutting head is moved to positions for cutting the recording media as the recording media is advanced on the support.

A system for automatically cutting paper comprising:
- a support for supporting recording media;
- a feeder mechanism for transporting recording media onto the support;
- a cutting head having at least one cutting member;
- and
- a controller for actuating reciprocation of the cutting member so that the reciprocating cutting member cooperates with the support to pierce the recording media and for moving the cutting head so that the cutting member is moved to another location proximate the recording media.
A method for automatically cutting paper comprising:
- receiving a recording media sheet for processing;
- generating cutting data for cutting the recording media sheet;
- and
- actuating a cutting member so that the cutting member cooperates with a support for the recording media sheet to pierce the recording media sheet.
An electrophotographic system comprising:
- a photoreceptor;
- a charging station for charging the photoreceptor;
- a raster output scanner for selectively discharging the photoreceptor to form a latent image on the raster output scanner;
- a development system for developing toner on the latent image;
- a recording media feeder for transporting recording media into a position proximate the developed latent image on the photoreceptor;
- a fuser station for transferring the developed latent image onto the recording media;
- and
- a cutting station for cutting the recording media.
