Chapter 9—Options

DTP Model

In the dedicated direct thermal printing (DTP) model, the thermal trans-
fer ribbon mechanism is omitted. The printer's default setup changes to
direct thermal printing—no setup parameters for thermal transfer print-
ing appear.

Side Doors and Megatop

The EasyCoder PF4i comes with either a short side door, which only
covers the print mechanism or with one of two types of long side doors,
which enclose the entire media compartment. The standard long side
door has a fl at top and a slot for external media supply. The 8-inch
Megatop version has a hinged transparent canopy that encloses a media
roll with a diameter of up to 213 mm (8.38 inches). The long side door
is generally illustrated throughout this manual, but pictures of the short
side door can be found at the start of this chapter and in Chapter 4.

Paper Cutter

The paper cutter is a factory- or fi eld-installable option designed to cut
off continuous paper-based stock or liner between labels. The cut-off
labels, tickets, or tags can be collected on an optional tray. The paper
cutter can be controlled using the instructions CUT, CUT ON, and
CUT OFF in Intermec Fingerprint and the Intermec Direct Protocol.
Also see Chapter 4, "Media Load, Cut-Off."

Integral Liner Takeup Unit

The integral liner takeup unit is an optional device for peel-off (self-strip)
operation, which means the labels are separated from a liner (back-
ing paper) after printing and the liner is wound up on an internal hub.
The unit also includes a guide shaft. Peel-off cannot be combined with
Quick-Load guides, see below.
