About the printer
The XS series printer is a heavy duty label and receipt printer, with a single motor driving both the paper feed and paper
rewind systems. Receipt tally roll, die cut labels or continuous sticky paper can be used.
Approved labels and paper rolls are available from a number of suppliers, whose addresses can be obtained from your
Avery Berkel centre.
The paper roll is loaded onto the spindle and the paper passed through the aperture at the rear of the open print
mechanism.
To ensure the print head can be cleaned easily, the print head is raised well clear of the lower body when in the open
position ensuring good access.
