Installing Paper Guides - Hengstler eXtendo X-56 Operating Manual

eXtendo® Thermal Printer Family

5.4. Installing Paper Guides

Depending upon the model and the options ordered, the eXtendo® family of thermal printers may
come with a pair of paper guides. Since the paper guides are only used for certain width papers,
and should not be used with other widths, they are not installed at the factory. Paper guides should
be utilized as follows.
Use the following procedure to install paper guides. Please note that the cover has been removed
from the printer to make it easier to see the paper guide area.
1. Locate the paper guides in a small bag packed with the printer and remove them. Note that the
slotted, funnel-shaped opening it oriented towards the printer, and that the extended arms of
the paper guide (Fig. 9) should point towards the middle of the printer. The paper guides are
symetrical and can be use on the left and right side equally.
2. Note that the paper guide has four tabs that are intended to engage the printer. Two tabs are at
the end of the arms, and two tabs are near the slotted "funnel". Locate the slotted area at the
back of the printer ( Fig. 10). Position the tabs on the funnel end in the middle of the slotted
area of the side in which you will mount them, making sure to be clear of the gear teeth molded
into the printer, then press down until these two tabs snap into place.
