Liner Takeup Unit; Paper Cutter - Intermec EasyCoder PX6i User Manual

Liner Takeup Kit
This is a factory-installed option only and is used to separate labels from
the liner and wind up the spent liner inside the printer's media compart-
ment.
The kit consists of a stepper motor that drives the liner drive roller in the
print unit (fi tted as standard) and a takeup hub in the media compart-
ment. A guide shaft is fi tted to the center section immediately behind the
slack absorber.
Operation and media load are described in the section "Peel-Off " of
Chapter 4, "Media Load."

Paper Cutter

The EasyCoder PX6i can easily be fi tted with an optional paper cutter,
provided the printer is not also equipped with a label taken sensor (LTS.)
The cutter unit replaces the front door using the same hinges. It is con-
nected by a single cable to the DIN-connector on the printer's front. The
paper cutter is available both as a factory-installed option and as a opera-
tor-installable kit.
The paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-adhesive
paper-based media or through the liner between labels. It must not cut
through any adhesive, which would stick to the cutting parts and rapidly
render the cutter inoperable–possibly also causing damage to the electric
motor. Maximum thickness for normal paper-based materials is 175 µm
(≈175 grams/m
The paper cutter increases the printer's total weight by approx. 1.0 kg
(2.2 pounds) and its length by 28 mm (1.1 inches).
The paper cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate cleaning and
media load. For media load instructions, see section "Cut-Off " in Chap-
ter 4, "Media Load."
Should you inadvertently have cut through self-adhesive labels, you will
have to clean the cutting parts. Tilt down the cutter and clean using a
piece of tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Note: The cutter must be enabled in the Confi guration part of
the Setup Mode, see Chapters 6 and 7.
