4.3 Bottom Plate

The center section is where most parts are fi tted, such as the print mecha-
nism, the transfer ribbon mechanism, the liner takeup unit, and the media
supply. The center section is fi tted to the bottom plate by four #T20 Torx
screws and to the rear plate using three #T20 Torx screws and a bracket.
In the electronics compartment, the CPU board, the driver board, and
power supply unit are fi tted to the center section.
The bottom plate is fi tted to the center section using four #T20 Torx
screws and to the rear plate using three #T20 Torx screws. In case of Easy-
Coder PX6i, there are also two #T20 Torx screws holding the outer gable
of the print unit.
The electronic compartment contains wires and components with dan-
gerous voltage. Make sure that the printer is switched off and the power
cord is disconnected before the bottom plate is removed.
The bottom plate is fi tted with four easily replaceable rubber feet. These
feet could be removed and the holes be used to bolt the printer to a frame,
table or similar. The holes have a diameter of 7.1 mm (0.28 inches). To
reduce noise, fi t rubber dampeners between the table and the printer if you
bolt it in place.
When fi tting a replacement foot, insert it through the bottom plate and
fi rmly press the pin so the rivet expands on the upper side of the plate.
The bottom plate is provided with two pairs of hinges for the front door or
cutter and for the right-hand door.
The two keyholes must not be used to bolt the printer to a frame, or the
bottom plate may be bent. These holes are intended for fi xtures during
manufacturing.
