1 Place the printer on a level surface, near an AC outlet. You
should be able to easily access the printer to load media, to
load ribbon, and to remove the printout.
2 Check that the printer is switched off.
3 Connect the power cord to the receptacle on the rear plate and
to an electrical outlet (110-120 or 220-240 VAC.)
The EasyCoder E4 is fi tted with a 36pin female Centronics
connector for the parallel interface port and a DB-9pin female
connector for the RS-232 serial interface port.
• Centronics Parallel Interface: Use the parallel interface with the
Intermec InterDriver (for Windows) because it is faster than
the serial interface.
• RS-232 Serial Interface: Use the serial interface with the Direct
Protocol because you can receive error messages from your
printer. This is not available when using the parallel interface.
Switch off both the PC and the EasyCoder E4 before connecting
them together.
The EasyCoder E4 is also fi tted with a Type 3 PCMCIA slot,
which can hold up to two Type 1 or Type 2 PCMCIA cards (5V.)
These can be Memory cards or Font cards and are optional.
