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 printout.
2 Check that the printer is switched off.
3 Check that the printer is set for the correct voltage (115 or
230 VAC).
4 Connect the power cord between the receptacle on the rear plate
and to the electrical outlet.
The EasyCoder 501 E is always fi tted with one 25-pin D-style
subminiature (DB25) female connector for the serial interface port
"uart1:" (see Appendix 4).
• Serial Interface "uart1:"
(device name: "uart1:")
This interface is by default set for RS-232 communication, but can
also be confi gured for either RS-422 or 20 mA current loop. Use
the RS-232 interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec
InterDriver. Also use it with the Intermec Direct Protocol or the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language because you can
receive error messages from your printer. 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
7, "Setting Up the Printer."
• Optional Interface Board
(device name: "uart2:", "uart3:", or "centronics:")
Several types are available (see Chapter 10, "Options"). Refer to
Appendix 4 and the separate documentation delivered with the
boards for connection and setup instructions.
Switch off both the PC and the printer before connecting them
together.
