3.4. Location of Controls and Connectors
Please see Figures 3, 4 and 5 below for the location of connectors, indicators and controls on
the XPM 80™ series.
Caution!
Care must be taken to avoid injury due to the sharp cutter components
when the print mechanism is open.
Caution!
The printhead may be hot from printing that took place shortly before
opening the print mechanism and may represent a burn hazard. Care must be
taken to avoid touching any hot surfaces.
Figure 3 shows a top view of the print mechanism, and identifies the Printer Access Control.
By pulling the recess in the direction shown, access can be gained to the paper path,
printhead, platen and cutter as shown in Figure 2 above. To close the print mechanism,
press down on the black area below the label until the upper print unit snaps closed.

Figure 4 shows the electrical connections for the XPM 80™, which are located beneath the
print mechanism. (This location is referred to as “Side A”.) These consist of the USB
interface, the serial (RS-232) interface, the paper pre-end and weekend sensor inputs for both
paper paths, and the power connection. In some versions of the XPM 80™, these connectors
may be duplicated on the opposite end of the printer under the dual-feed unit. (This location
is referred to as “Side B”.)
