Left-Hand Cover - Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP Service Manual

3.3 Left-Hand Cover

Intermec EasyCoder 501 XP – Service Manual Ed. 4
The left-hand cover gives access to:
• The electronics incl. CPU board, AC connection, power supply,
Centronics interface pcb, and any optional interface pcb.
• The motors, belts and pulleys of the media feed, ribbon feed
and the optional liner/batch takeup unit.
The left-hand cover plate is fi tted to the printer's frame by means
of a total of eight #T10 Torx screws; four along the lower edge and
another four along the top.
After having disconnected the power cord, open the right-hand
door. Using a #T10 Torx screwdriver, remove the four screws
along the lower edge fi rst, then remove the four upper screws. Put
the cover plate aside on a soft cloth or similar material to avoid
scratches.
When replacing the left-hand cover, press it forcefully inwards
to overcome the pressure of the leaf springs. These are used to
connect the cover plate to chassis ground in order to create a iso-
lated box to prevent radio interference. Before fi nally tightening
the screws, check that the cover is aligned with the front moulding
and the rear plate and that it does not interfere with the right-hand
door.
