3.4.  Location of Controls and Connectors 

Please see Figures 1, 3, 4 and 6 for the location of connectors, indicators and controls on the 
XPM 200HR™ 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. 

 

 

Pulling forward and lifting  the Presenter Access Control will provide access to the presenter 
paper  path.    Press  lightly  on  the  non-moving  portion  of  the  presenter  top  section,  to  the 
outside of the rollers, to close the presenter again. 
 
There  are  several  versions  of  the  XPM  200HR  controller,  depending  upon  the  features 
ordered.    One  significant  difference  between  them  is  the  additional  connector  for  controlling 
the optional loop presenter.  Figure 6 shows the  XPM 200HR controller with the connectors 
labeled.    These  consist  of  the  USB  interface,  the  power  connection,  the  thermal  printhead 
connection,  the  paper  pre-end  sensor  inputs  (including  weekend  sensors),  the  print 
mechanism connections (all the  sensors,  switches, etc. from the print mechanism except for 
the thermal printhead), and the presenter connector. 
 
Figure 3 shows the rear of the print mechanism and the two paper guides.
