Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP – User's Guide
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 compartment. Labels, tickets, tags etc. can be
wound up inside the media compartment after printing by fi tting
a special guide to the front of the print unit.
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 compartment. A guide shaft is fi tted to the center section
immediately behind the slack absorber. A guide plate is fi tted at
the rear of the media compartment and can be used to replace the
standard tear bar on the print unit.
Operation and media load are described in the sections "Peel-
Off" and "Internal Batch Takeup" of Chapter 4, "Media Load."
The EasyCoder 501 XP 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 is fi tted on the same
hinges as the front door, which it replaces. It is connected 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 fi eld-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 grammes/m
The paper cutter increases the printer's total weight by approx.
1.0 kgs (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 Chapter 4, "Media Load."
The cutter is activated by CUT or CUT ON instructions, see
the Intermec Fingerprint v7.xx 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."
Should you inadvertently have cut through self-adhesive labels,
you will have to clean the cutting parts. Tilt down the cutter and
clean using a piece of tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
