Abstract: Imaging apparatus including a guide for guiding a receiver medium therethrough with reduced friction and a guide assembly method therefor. The guide includes mounting portions adapted to be received by mounting locations precisely positioned in a support frame capable of supporting the guide. The mounting portions must precisely mate with the mounting locations so that the guide is properly mounted on the frame during assembly of the imaging apparatus. In this regard, the guide is formed of a flexible material having a relatively low value of Young's modulus of elasticity, so that the guide can be flexed in order to manipulate the guide into position for mating engagement of the mounting portions with the mounting locations. Moreover, the guide is made of a material having a low coefficient of sliding friction for sliding of receiver medium therealong, so that the receiver medium is neither scratched by the guide nor sticks to the guide to cause "jamming" of the apparatus by the receiver medium.
