Intermec EasyCoder F2 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2
The Label-Taken Sensor (LTS) is a photoelectric sensor, which
enables the printer's fi rmware to detect if the latest printed label,
ticket, tag etc. has been removed before printing another copy.
The LTS can be enabled or disabled by means of the instructions
LTS& ON and LTS& OFF respectively in Intermec Fingerprint and
the Intermec Direct Protocol.
The EasySet bar code wand is primarily intended to facilitate setup
in regard of paper type, but can also be used to change all other
setup parameters. This is done by scanning a pre-printed CODE
128 bar code composed according to a special standard (FNC3 in
the bar code input data specifi es a setup parameter). The bar code
wand can also be used to read other CODE 128 bar codes as input
data to a Intermec Fingerprint program.
A selection of setup bar codes is provided in Appendix 4. For further
information on how to compose setup bar codes, see the Intermec
Fingerprint 7.xx Reference Manual.
The bar code wand is connected to the topmost connector on the
printer's rear plate, immediately to the right of the main switch.
The Real-Time Clock circuit (RTC) relieves the operator or the
overhead computer system from having to set the clock/calendar by
means of the Intermec Fingerprint instructions DATE$ and TIME$
after each power up. The RTC has its own battery backup with a
life of 10 years or more.
A number of different interface boards are available for use with the
EasyCoder F2. The interface boards are either factory fi tted or can
easily be fi tted by an authorized service technician.
The EasyCoder F2 can accommodate one such interface board.
The interface boards for the EasyCoder F2 are presently:
• Parallel Interface Board (IEEE 1284)
• Double Serial Interface Board
• Industrial Interface Board
• EasyLAN 100i Interface Board (Ethernet)
Refer to Appendix 3 "Interfaces" for more information on interface
boards.
