Intermec EasyCoder 601 XP – Installation & Operation Ed. 3
This is a factory-installed option only and is used to separate labels
from the backing paper (liner) and roll up the spent backing paper
inside the printer's paper compartment.
The kit consists of a stepper motor that drives the paper return roller
in the print unit (fitted as standard) and a rewind shaft in the paper
compartment. A guide shaft is fitted to the centre-line wall immedi-
ately behind the slack absorber.
Operation and paper load are described in the section "Peel Off" of
chapter 5 "Paper Load".
The EasyCoder 601 XP can easily be fitted with an optional paper
cutter, provided the printer is not also equipped with a label-taken
sensor (LTS). The cutter unit is fitted on the same hinges as the
front door, which it replaces, and is connected by a single cable to
the DIN-connector on the printer's front. The paper cutter is avail-
able both as a factory-installed option and as a field-installable kit.
The paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-adhe-
sive paper strip or through the backing paper between labels. It must
not be used to cut through any kind of adhesive, which would stick
to the cutting parts and rapidly render the cutter inoperable – possi-
bly also causing damage to the electric motor.
Maximum paper thickness is 175 m ( 175 grammes/m
mal paper-based materials.
The paper cutter increases the printer's total weight by approx. 1.65
kgs (= 3.6 lbs) and its length by 28 mm (1.1").
The paper cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate cleaning
and paper load. For paper load instructions, see section "Cut Off"
in chapter 5 "Paper Load".
The cutter is activated by CUT or CUT ON instructions, see Inter-
mec Fingerprint manuals or Intermec Direct Protocol Programmer's
Guide. The rotating edge will cut through the paper approx. 37 mm
(1.5") in front of the printer's dot line. The paper feed should be
adjusted accordingly, see chapter 7 "Setting Up the Printer".
Should you inadvertently have cut through self-adhesive web, you
will have to clean the cutting parts. Tilt down the cutter and clean
using a piece of tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
