10 Buying Paper
10.1 Sourcing Paper
In order to maintain your warranty, use only paper that conforms with eXtendo® XF Paper
Specification D 684 122. Use of paper that does not conform with this specification may adversely
affect the performance of your eXtendo® XF printer and/or damage your printer. Please note that
the eXtendo® XF can use either roll or fanfold paper. When using fanfold paper, care must be taken
to configure the printer, black or hole mark, and positioning so that the cut always occurs after the
fanfold bend, not on it or before it. Failure to do so will cause cutting problems and will likely
increase paper jams.
10.1.1 Converting Paper
Thermal paper is usually purchased through paper converters. These companies buy large, jumbo
rolls of specific paper types from the few true paper manufacturers in the world and then cut it and
roll it to your specifications. You may elect to have preprinting or black marks added at this time, as
well. Please make sure that any paper a converter wishes to supply you for use with your eXtendo®
XF printer conforms with eXtendo® XF Paper Specification D 684 122.
10.2 Mark Sensor Locations
eXtendo® XF printers support three different black mark positions on the (non-thermal) bottom side
of the paper. The sensor location must be known at time of ordering the printer and will be fixed at
time of manufacturing. The number inside the boxes refers to the printer's match code that you
would see on quotations.
Black Mark Sensor Locations:
Pos 6
(standard, 9 mm from right edge; match code example: X56-US-P-06-J-...)
Pos 1
(25.6 mm from right edge; match code example: X56-US-P-01-J-...)
