Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation IPL Version, Ed. 3

Chapter 8 Options

In the dedicated direct thermal printing (DTP) model, the thermal
transfer ribbon mechanism is omitted.

The EasyCoder F4 comes with either a short side door, which only
covers the print mechanism or with one of two types of long side
doors, which encloses the entire media compartment. The standard
long side door has a fl at top and a slot for external media supply.
The 8-inch Megatop version has a hinged transparent canopy that
encloses a media roll with a diameter up to 213 mm (8.38 inches).

The standard long side door is generally illustrated throughout this
manual, but pictures of the short side door can be found in Chapter
4, “Media Load/Tear-off with Quick-Load.”

The integral liner takeup unit is an optional device for peel-off
(self-strip) operation, which means that the labels are separated from
a liner (backing paper) after printing and the liner is wound up on an
internal hub. The unit also includes a guide shaft. Peel-off cannot be
combined with Quick-Load guides, see below.

The rotating media supply hub is designed to fi t media roll cores
with an internal diameter of 38-40 mm (1.5 inch). The hub can be
fi tted in the same positions as the supply roll post (see Chapter 2,
“Installation.”) Being factory installed, the position of the hub is not
intended to be changed by the operator.

The 3-inch/76 mm adapter is with a rotating media supply hub
and makes it possible to use media rolls with 3 inch/76 mm inner
diameter cores. The adapter is pressed onto the media supply hub
and secured by a screw.

The 3-inch adapter is not used with a media roll supply post.
