External Supply (Fanfold) - Intermec EasyCoder PF4i User Manual

Chapter 4—Media Load
External Supply (Fan-fold)
The EasyCoder PF4i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. This section describes the case when the media
supply is placed behind the printer, usually in the form of fan-folded
tickets or tags. External supply can be used with tear-off (straight-
through) printing–preferably with Quick-Load.
External supply can be used with both short and long side doors and
there is no need to remove the media supply roll post.
When using an external media supply, take care to protect the media
from dust, dirt or other foreign particles, that can impair the printout
quality or cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.
Depending on brand and quality, all direct thermal media are more or
less sensitive to heat, direct sunlight, moisture, oil, plasticizers, fat, and
other substances. You should protect them accordingly.
This diagram shows the media path from an external supply. In case of the standard
edge guide (as opposed to Quick-Load guides), turn it to vertical position.
