Abstract
A mechanism for a label printer that automatically locks two, spaced-apart, paper supporting guides. A supply roll of paper is disposed between the guides, and the guides are adjusted to a proper paper width position. The guides are each mounted on a rack that engages a centralized pinion gear disposed in the cover plate that is closed over the printer housing. The guides are locked in an adjusted position when the cover is latched to the housing of the label printer.
