- in my case I received the error "mecha trouble cutter pos" I removed both side panels and the panel directly in front of the cutter this gave me access to the cutter assembly where I found that the cable that runs the cutter had fallen off of the pulleys.I was able to get the cable back onto the pulleys and now the printer works perfectly

checking the gear by taking off both side panels and the panel directly in front of the cutter helped me - in my case I received the error "mecha trouble cutter pos" problem was, the cable that runs the cutter had fallen off of the pulleys and after a bit of fussing, I was able to get the cable back in place and a working printer.
