The EasyCoder 501 E can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. This chapter describes the case when an
external media supply is used, for example a stack of fan-fold tickets
or an external media roll.
It is possible to simply let the media enter the printer through either
of the two slots in the rear plate. However, we recommend to fi t the
optional Intermec Fan-Fold Kit, which provides better guidance of
the media using adjustable guides. The kit can be fi tted to either the
upper or the lower slot in the rear plate.
When using an external media supply, take care to protect the media
from dust, dirt, and other foreign particles, that can impair the
printout quality or cause unneccessary wear to the printhead.
Depending on brand and quality, all direct thermal media are more
or less sensitive to heat, direct sunlight, moisture, oil, plasticizers, fat,
amd other substances. You should protect it accordingly.
External supply can be used for:
• Tear-off operation
• Cut-off operation
• Peel-off operation (upper slot only)
• Internal batch takeup operation

Use the lower slot in the rear plate when the
supply is placed lower than the printer.
