Intermec EasyCoder E4 LinerLess – Installation & Operation Ed. 1
• Media Type
The EasyCoder E4 LinerLess has five media type options, but
two of these has no application with linerless media:
- Label with gaps
- Ticket with marks
- Ticket with gaps
- Fixed length strip
- Variable length strip
Refer to Appendix 2 for illustrations and specifications of the
various types. It is important to specify the correct type, so the
paper feed will work correctly and the label stop sensor can detect
the front edges of labels, tickets and tags as well as out-of-paper
conditions.
Setup strings, examples:
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA_TYPE,TICKET_(w_MARK)" ↵
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA_TYPE,FIX_LENGTH_STRIP" ↵
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA_TYPE,VAR_LENGTH_STRIP" ↵
• Paper Type
In order to be compatible with previous Intermec printers, the
EasyCoder E4 LinerLess is preset to use a number of standard
direct thermal paper qualities. Select the appropriate "Paper
Type" setting among those listed in Appendix 2.
To select linerless paper and to obtain the best print quality and
printhead lifetime for direct thermal papers, follow the instructions
for "New Supplies" below and in the chapter "Printer Setup with
the Bar Code Wand".
Setup string, example:
SETUP "SERVICE,PRINT_DEFS,PAPER_TYPE,UBI_DT_110" ↵
• New Supplies
You can send a text string to the printer to indicate the supply type.
See Appendix 2 for recommended "New Supplies" settings. This
method of setting up the printer is preferred to obtain the best print
quality and printhead lifetime.
Instead of using a computer, you can also easily set up the paper
type using the Bar Code Wand. The necessary codes are shown
in "Printer Setup with the Bar Code Wand" later in this chapter.
This gives you the same optimized results as "New Supplies"
setup strings.
