Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Hengstler eXtendo
product, which was designed using all our expertise and experience, and we are confident that you
will be pleased with the advanced features and outstanding performance.
This Operator Manual is designed to help you with the proper installation, connection to your host
computer system and start-up of the eXtendo
explained in the following sections. Please read this manual carefully before using the printer. If you
have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The eXtendo thermal printer family does not require any servicing and is intended primarily for
printing and cutting documents and receipts from continuous thermal paper. The X-56 version is for
narrower paper (49 – 60 mm), while the X-80 handles wider paper (60 – 86 mm). Various paper
cutters are available to handle a wide range of paper stocks up to 250 g/m² and more. Powerful
motors allow the use of large paper rolls to maximize time between paper replenishment. An optional
presenter (available soon) prevents the user from touching the paper until it is cut from the paper roll,
thereby preventing many forms of vandalism. If documents are to be printed on preprinted forms or
with a predetermined length, 'Black Mark' control is available. The horizontal and vertical print density
is 203 dpi so that graphics, such as logos etc. can be printed with good quality.
®
The eXtendo printer family has been designed for use in a wide variety of applications, including
ticketing, parking, banking, transit, reverse-vending, kiosk, car wash, fuel dispensing, and vending
applications. In order to provide the optimal cost/benefit ratio, the eXtendo
you to choose and buy only the features that you need for your application! This extreme
customization insures that you have just the right amount of printer for your task; not too much, and
not too little.
Available in both USB and Serial (RS-232) configurations, the eXtendo
most versatile we've ever produced! Driver software is available that supports the Windows XP and
Linux operating systems. In addition, the printer can also be activated directly in ASCII mode through
ESC sequences; a detailed description of the different sequences is contained in the eXtendo
Emulation Command Set Reference.
We're glad you chose the eXtendo
be, too!
