Abstract

A method of assembling a print media transport arrangement of a printer, the method comprising the steps of: providing a support frame for at least one elongate roller; positioning the roller so as to be supported at its longitudinal first and second ends by the support frame; positioning a bearing of a fixing plate about the first end of the roller, the bearing being configured to allow rotation of the roller, the rotation, in use, providing transport of print media within the printer; and slidably engaging the fixing plate with the support frame so as to fix the roller thereto, wherein, during the sliding engagement, the elongate roller pivots about the second end due to the configuration of the bearing.
