label is not necessarily the cor-

the printer. It is the size for which
the printer has been set up.

Test labels are designed to be printed on continuous media. If the
printer has labels loaded, some lines of the test label may be posi-
tioned in the gaps between the labels.
If you wish to return the printer to its default setup, press and hold
Feed for three seconds after printing the test label.
When you change the printer's setup, the new settings are saved and
will continue in operation until you reset or change them, even after
the printer has been switched off.
You can print labels using the Windows printer driver or the Inter-
mec Direct Protocol programming language.
If you are using the Windows driver for the EasyCoder E4 LinerLess:
1 Design a label in e.g. MS Office, or in Intermec LabelShop.
2 Enter the number of copies required in the EasyCoder E4 LinerLess
printer driver.
3 Send the label to print.
If you are using Intermec Direct Protocol, there are two ways to
prepare and print a label:
• Type instructions in the Direct Protocol programming language
into the Terminal, which sends them to the printer one instruction
at a time. To print a label, send a PRINTFEED command.
• Type instructions in the Direct Protocol programming language
into a text editor and send the resulting text file to the printer using
DOS Copy or the Terminal. If you include a PRINTFEED
command in your file, the printer will print the label immediately.
You can tell the printer how many copies you want by adding a
number to the PRINTFEED command, e.g. PRINTFEED 22.
When you have sent a label to the printer, it will be printed out
whenever you send a PRINTFEED command. If you turn off the
printer or send any command starting a new label, the previous
label format will be lost.
If you have enabled the Feed button to work as a print button using
a PRINT KEY ON command, a new copy of the label presently stored
in the image buffer will be printed each time you press the Feed
button.
See Chapter 4 "Programming; Programming a Label" for further
information.
