Preface

Introduction

This Installation Instructions booklet describes how to install a label
taken sensor (LTS) in an EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, or PF4i Compact Indus-
trial printer, how to adjust the sensitivity, and how to control it in either
Intermec Fingerprint or IPL.
The label taken sensor enables the printer's fi rmware to detect if the
latest printed label (or similar) has been removed before starting to print
next label. It consists of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photoelec-
tric sensor. The LED emits a narrow beam of light upwards towards the
media outfeed area. If the light is refl ected back by a label, that has not
yet been removed, it will be detected by the sensor and a label-not-taken
condition is assumed. The theoretical point of detection is 20.7 mm
(0.81 in) outside the inner edge of the media path and immediately in
front of the tear bar.
This interface kit must only be physically installed by an
authorized service technician. Intermec assumes no respon-
sibility for personal injury or damage to the equipment if
the installation in performed by an unauthorized person.
Take precautions against electrostatic discharges, for
example by wearing grounded bracelets.
