Power
1 Place the printer on a level surface, near an AC outlet. You should be
able to easily access the printer to load media and to remove the print-
out.
2 Both the printer and the host computer must be switched off while
they are being connected.
3 Connect the power cord between the receptacle on the rear plate and
to the electrical outlet (100 to 240 VAC).
Computer
The EasyCoder PD4 is fitted with one 36-pin Centronics socket for the
parallel interface, one 9-pin D-style subminiature (DB9) socket for the
RS-232 serial interface port and one class B connector for the USB inter-
face port (see Appendix C).
Parallel Interface
Use the parallel interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec Inter-
Driver. The parallel port supports error signal and paper end signal.
RS-232 Serial Interface
Use the serial interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec Inter-
Driver. You can also use it for programming (see Intermec ESim v5.xx for
EasyCoder PD4, Programmer’s Reference Manual). Before you can use the
serial interface, you may need to set up the communication parameters,
such as baud rate, parity, etc. as described in Chapter 5, “Printing.”
USB Interface
Use the USB interface with an USB-compatible version of the Intermec
InterDriver for printing. The USB interface works in the same manner as
RS-232 and is useful for error message handling (see Intermec ESim v5.xx
for EasyCoder PD4, Programmer’s Reference Manual) .
