4.2 Center Section

4.3 Bottom Plate

Intermec EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, and PF4i Compact Industrial—Service Manual
The center section is made of moulded magnesium and is used for fi tting
most parts, such as the print mechanism, the transfer ribbon mechanism,
the liner takeup unit, and the media supply. The center section is fi tted to
the bottom plate by a total of four #T20 Torx screws.
In the electronics compartment, the CPU board and power supply unit are
fi tted to the center section. The power supply unit is also attached to the
bottom plate using two screws.
The electronic compartment contains wires and components with dan-
gerous voltage. Make sure that the printer is switched off and the power
cord is disconnected before the bottom plate is removed.
The bottom plate is fi tted with four easily replaceable rubber feet. These
feet could be removed and the holes be used to bolt the printer to a frame,
table or similar. The holes have a diameter of 7.1 mm (0.28 inches). To
reduce noise, fi t rubber dampeners between the table and the printer if you
bolt it in place.
When fi tting a replacement foot, insert it through the bottom plate and
fi rmly press the pin so the rivet expands on the upper side of the plate.
The two keyholes should not be used to bolt the printer to a frame, or the
bottom plate may be bent. These holes are only used for fi xtures during
manufacturing.
