Introduction
The EasyCoder E4 LinerLess printer is a direct thermal printer spe-
cial adapted to use both heat-sensitive linerless paper and standard
direct thermal paper. Linerless paper eliminates the liner (backing
paper), that usually protects the adhesive on labels, and is thus more
economical with about 60% more labels per roll. This gives fewer
paper reloads and the environment benefits from less waste.
Thanks to a special top coating, linerless paper has higher resist-
ance against chemicals, scratching and UV light and gives a darker
image with longer life than common direct thermal labels with liner.
The labels are torn off manually against the tear-off edge.
The EasyCoder E4 LinerLess printer is fitted with an 8 dots/mm
(203.2 dpi) printhead.
The EasyCoder E4 LinerLess is simple to operate, and is designed
to work with any computing device capable of ASCII output using
either the Intermec Direct Protocol programming language or a Win-
dows printer driver. The Windows drivers work with various ver-
sions of Microsoft Windows and allows you to design labels using
standard applications, e.g. MS Office. You can also use various
versions of Intermec's own Windows-based application, Intermec
LabelShop.
You can connect the host computer to the EasyCoder E4 LinerLess
via the serial RS 232 port or the parallel Centronics port. A PCMCIA
port is also provided so that you can fit an extra memory card or a
font card.
