Liner Takeup Unit; Paper Cutter - Intermec EasyCoder PX6i User Manual

Chapter 9 — Options
Liner Takeup Kit
This is a factory-installed option only and is used to separate labels from
the liner and wind up the spent liner inside the printer's media compart-
ment.
The kit consists of a stepper motor that drives the liner drive roller in the
print unit (fi tted as standard) and a takeup hub in the media compart-
ment. A guide shaft is fi tted to the center section immediately behind the
slack absorber.
Operation and media load are described in the section "Peel-Off " of
Chapter 4, "Media Load."

Paper Cutter

The EasyCoder PX6i can easily be fi tted with an optional paper cutter,
provided the printer is not also equipped with a label taken sensor (LTS.)
The cutter unit replaces the front door using the same hinges. It is con-
nected by a single cable to the DIN-connector on the printer's front. The
paper cutter is available both as a factory-installed option and as a opera-
tor-installable kit.
The paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-adhesive
paper-based media or through the liner between labels. It must not cut
through any adhesive, which would stick to the cutting parts and rapidly
render the cutter inoperable–possibly also causing damage to the electric
motor. Maximum thickness for normal paper-based materials is 175 µm
(≈175 grams/m 2 ).
The paper cutter increases the printer's total weight by approx. 1.0 kg
(2.2 pounds) and its length by 28 mm (1.1 inches).
The paper cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate cleaning and
media load. For media load instructions, see section "Cut-Off " in Chap-
ter 4, "Media Load."
The cutter is activated by CUT or CUT ON instructions, see the
Intermec Fingerprint v8.3x manuals.
The rotating edge will cut through the media approx. 37 mm (1.5
inches) in front of the printer's dot line. The media feed should be
adjusted accordingly, see Chapter 7, "Setting Up the Printer."
