Star Micronics 37981560 Auto-Cutter Replacement Unit

Overview

The 37981560 is a replacement auto-cutter module for Star Micronics TSP1III and TSP1IV series printers. When the factory cutter blade dulls or jams from high-volume label runs, this part restores clean, consistent cuts without replacing the whole printer. It's the right fix for retail POS and shipping stations running linerless or standard label media at volume, where a worn cutter starts producing ragged edges or misfeeds instead of a clean separation.

Compatibility

Built specifically for the Star Micronics TSP1 platform — TSP1III and TSP1IV printer models. Confirm your exact printer generation before ordering, since cutter assemblies are not interchangeable across unrelated Star Micronics label printer series. This part is not a generic fit for other TSP model lines.

Installation Notes

This is a self-contained cutter assembly weighing 0.35 lb, sized to swap into the existing cutter bay on supported TSP1 models. Because it's an auto-cutter, it integrates with the printer's existing cut-command signaling — no separate driver or firmware change is needed on the host system. Support for both labels and linerless media means the blade geometry is set up to handle adhesive-backed stock without gumming up, which matters if your line runs linerless tags for high-throughput labeling.

Part number 37981560 is sourced factory-new with direct manufacturer sourcing — no grey-market, no parallel imports — and carries a 2-year warranty.
