dots/mm = 300 dots/inch (option) and a maximum print width of 104

large number of useful features, such as:
• Flash memory SIMMs for firmware, fonts, bar codes, and application
programs
• Built-in CompactFlash memory card adapter
• Built-in RS-232 and USB interfaces
• Provision for extra interface boards including wireless EasyLAN con-
nections and RFID capability.

A large number of factory-installed or field-installable options are avail-
able, so the printer can be configured for a wide range of applications.
See Chapter 9 and Appendix A for more information.
The EasyCoder PM4i supports the unique and flexible Intermec Finger-
print v8.70 programming language, which allows the user or third-party
developer to create custom-made application programs and label formats
in a BASIC-like environment.
The printer is also designed to work with the Intermec Direct Protocol
programming language, the Intermec InterDriver and Intermec Label-
shop. The InterDriver allows you to print labels from standard MS
Windows applications, for example Microsoft Office. Intermec Label-
Shop is a series of label-design programs that work under various versions
of MS Windows.
The EasyCoder PM4i Compact supports 15 scaleable Unicode TrueType
and TrueDoc fonts as standard. Additional fonts can be downloaded into
the printer's Flash memory, or be plugged in using a CompactFlash card.
The Unicode standard allows the use of special characters for various
languages including non-Latin fonts, such as Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, and similar.
A version of EasyCoder PM4i, that supports the Intermec Programming
Language (IPL), is described in a special User's Guide.
