This chapter describes the case when an external media supply
is used, for example a stack of fan-fold tickets or an external
media roll.
It is possible to simply let the media enter the printer through
either of the two slots in the rear plate. However, we recommend
to fi t the optional Intermec Fan-Fold Kit, which provides better
guidance of the media using adjustable guides. The kit can be
fi tted to either the upper or the lower slot in the rear plate.
When using an external media supply, take care to protect the
media from dust, dirt, and other foreign particles, that can impair
the printout quality or cause unneccessary 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. Protect it accordingly.
External supply can be used for:
• Tear-off operation
• Cut-off operation
• Peel -off operation (upper slot only)
• Internal batch takeup operation
2
Use the lower slot in the rear plate when the supply
is placed lower than the printer.
