Disc Printer Option
The Xpress XL is designed to handle two printers. A base plate must be installed for
each printer. There are left and right base plates labeled - PL = Printer Left;
PR = Printer Right. Left and right orientation is determined by facing the front of the
Xpress Unit.
1. Slide Printer Base Plates into slots on top of drive enclosures.
2. Slide printer plate forward to lock in. The two pins on back of printer drive plate
fit into corresponding holes in drive cage.
3. Place Printer onto pegs on surface of Printer Base Plate. Each printer is labeled
‘Left’ or ‘Right’ on the back. This is important so that the numbers on the cables
match the proper port on the proper printer.
