For Quick-Load operation (see Chapter 5, "Media Load"), a set of
wide or narrow Quick-Load guides is installed at the rear of the print
mechanism instead of the standard edge guide. The outer guide is
adjustable for different media widths. Two sets of Quick-Load guides
are included as standard in the delivery (either factory-fi tted or
loose). They can easily be installed by the operator:
1. Open the upper media guide (see illustration in Chapter 12,
"Maintenance/Cleaning the Media Guides.")
2. Pull out the standard edge guide from the shaft.
3. Install the appropriate set of Quick-Load guides onto the shaft as
illustrated on the fi rst page of this chapter.
The Label Taken Sensor (LTS) is a photoelectric sensor that enables
the printer's fi rmware to detect if the latest printed label, ticket, tag,
etc. has been removed before printing another copy.
The LTS can be enabled or disabled by means of the instructions
LTS& ON and LTS& OFF respectively in Intermec Fingerprint and
the Intermec Direct Protocol.
The EasySet bar code wand is primarily intended to facilitate
paper type setup, but it can also be used to change all other setup
parameters. This is done by scanning a pre-printed Code 128 bar
code created according to a special standard (FNC3 in the bar code
input data specifi es a setup parameter). The bar code wand can
also be used to read other CODE 128 bar codes as input data to an
Intermec Fingerprint program.
A selection of setup bar codes is provided in Appendix 4. For further
information on how to create setup bar codes, see the Intermec
Fingerprint v7.xx, Reference Manual.
The bar code wand is connected to the topmost connector on the
printer's rear plate, immediately to the right of the on/off switch.
The Real Time Clock (RTC) relieves the operator or the host from
having to set the clock/calendar using the Intermec Fingerprint
instructions DATE$ and TIME$ after each power up. The RTC has
its own backup battery that will last 10 years or more.
