Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP – Installation & Operation Ed. 3
1 Place the printer on a level surface, near a mains electrical outlet
and with easy access for loading paper and ribbon, and for
removing printout.
2 Check that the printer is switched off.
3 Connect the power cable to the mains receptacle on the rear plate
and to the electrical outlet.
The Easycoder 601 XP is fitted with a 36 pin female Centronics
connector for the parallel interface port and a DB25 male connector
for the RS 232 serial interface port (see Appendix 3).
• Centronics Parallel Interface
Use the parallel interface with the Windows driver because it is
faster than the serial interface. There is no communication setup
for the parallel interface.
• RS 232 Serial Interface
Use the serial interface with Direct Protocol or Intermec Fingerprint
programming because you can receive error messages from your
printer. This is not available using the parallel interface. Before
you can use the serial interface, you may need to set up the
communication parameters, such as baudrate, parity etc. as
described in chapter 7 "Setting Up the Printer".
• Optional Interface Board
The printer may be fitted with oneadditional interface board.
Refer to separate documentation delivered with the boards for
connection and setup instructions.
Switch off both the PC and the Easycoder 601 XP before connect-
ing them together.
