5.1. Unpacking

Care should be taken when unpacking your eXtendo® printer to preserve the packing material for
possible future use. eXtendo® packing is specifically designed to protect the printer from damage in
the harsh environment of trucks and aircraft.

Please be sure to use this packing if it ever becomes necessary to reship your eXtendo® unit.

5.2. Function


Please note that the eXtendo® printer is a module designed to be integrated into a system and to be
operated only as a part of that system, for example, in a kiosk. All technical specifications and
instructions contained in this manual and related documentation must be considered and
complied with in order to achieve successful operation in the completed system.

5.3. Mounting Printer

The eXtendo® printer is built with four mounting holes for mounting from below, and four holes for
mounting from the side. These holes are molded into bosses which are part of the plastic frame.
Due to the very tough nature of the plastic used for the eXtendo®, we recommend the following
screws for mounting the printer.
Side Mounting Holes:
Bottom Mounting Holes:
These screws are available from Hengstler as a "mounting kit" to simplify your sourcing needs. Hole
layouts (viewed from above the printer) for mounting the X-56 and X-80 models with screws from
underneath are shown below. Please refer to the drawings specified in section 1. 1 for more
detailed dimensions and mounting hole locations for mounting from the side.


Note: The eXtendo® printer is designed with a cutter cover (cutter bracket) that is hinged and can
be tilted down to gain access to the cutter. However, the printer is designed such that this cover can
be tilted down only if the printer is mounted at the edge of a shelf ( Fig. 8). Attempting to lower
this cover if the printer is back from the edge on a flat surface will likely damage the cutter cover!
Please be aware of this when selecting your printer mounting location.
