Abstract: A device (1) is for guiding printer (20). The device (1) is utilized in a method for using a handheld electronic printer (20) with the device (1). The device (1) includes a base (2) having at least one guide (5), and a carriage (3) having at least two separate links (26, 27) engaged with the at least one guide (5). The at least one guide (5) has at least two linear sections (7, 8) being spaced apart and parallel. The at least one guide (5) includes at least two changeover sections (10, 11), each connecting two linear sections (7, 8). The changeover sections (10, 11) are arranged at different positions of the linear sections (7, 8) the changeover sections respectively connect.

Abstract: An accessory device is for an electronic marking device. The accessory device has a connection device for releasably connecting to an electronic marking device, and the accessory device has a stop for limiting movement of a document transversely to a printhead of a connected electronic marking device. A deflecting mechanism deflects the document, and the stop and the deflecting mechanism are arranged on different sides of the printhead of the connected electronic marking device. An electronic marking device includes a printhead, a movement detector, and a controller. The controller is connected to the movement detector and to the printhead and is configured to actuate the printhead in order to print a document when movement of the electronic marking device over the document is detected by the movement detector. The electronic marking device has a stop for limiting movement of the document transversely to the printhead.
