• Media Type
The EasyCoder E4 can be set to handle fi ve different types of
direct thermal media or receiving face material:
- Label with gaps
- Ticket with marks
- Ticket with gaps
- Fixed length strip
- Variable length strip
Refer to Appendix 2 for illustrations and specifi cations of the
various types. It is important to specify the correct type, so
the media 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
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA
SETUP "SERVICE,MEDIA
• Paper Type
In order to be compatible with previous Intermec printers, the
EasyCoder E4 is preset to use a number of standard media
and ribbon qualities. Select the appropriate "Paper Type" set-
ting among those listed in Appendix 2.
More preferred ways of setting up the printer for different
ribbons and receiving face materials are described in "New
Supplies" below and in Appendix 5, "Printer Setup with the
Bar Code Wand."
Setup string, example:
SETUP "SERVICE,PRINT
• New Supplies
When using direct thermal media and transfer ribbons, 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.
