6.3. Installing Paper Guides

Depending upon the model and the options ordered, the eXtendo
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 (see figure 9) should point towards the middle of the
printer.
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. (See figure 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.
