Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP – Installation & Operation Ed. 4
The ribbon low sensor can be used to detect when the ribbon
supply starts getting low (as opposed to the standard ribbon end
detector).
It is available a factory-installed option or a kit for installation by an
authorized service technician.
The ribbon low sensor requires a dedicated Intermec Fingerprint
program to work.
The EasySet bar code wand is primarily intended to facilitate
setup in regard of paper and transfer ribbon types, but can also
be used to change all other setup parameters. This is done by
scanning a pre-printed CODE 128 bar code composed 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 a Intermec Fingerprint
program.
For further information on how to compose setup bar codes, see
the Intermec Fingerprint 7.xx Reference Manual. A collection
of printed bar codes for various setup parameters can be found
in Appendix 4.
The bar code wand is connected to the topmost connector on the
printer's rear plate, immediately to the right of the main switch.
A number of different interface boards are available for use with the
EasyCoder 501 XP. The interface boards are either factory fi tted or
can easily be fi tted by an authorized service technician. Each board
is delivered with installation instructions and complete descriptions
of signals and connectors.
The EasyCoder 501 XP can accommodate one such interface
board in addition to its standard serial and parallel communication
ports.
The following interface boards are presently available for EasyCoder
501 XP (also see Appendix 3):
• Double Serial Interface Board
