Media Supply Roll Post
for EasyCoder PF2i

Being of a modular design for maximum fl exibility, the EasyCoder PF2i,
PF4i, and PF4i Compact Industrial can use either a media supply roll
post or a rotating media supply hub fi tted in different positions inside
the media compartment, depending on the type of side door (long, short,
or Megatop) and whether or not the printer is fi tted with a takeup unit
for the liner (backing paper). Alternatively, an external media supply (for
example a box of fan-folded tickets) behind the printer can be used (not
with Megatop).
EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, and PF4i Compact Industrial
The media supply roll post fi ts both 38 to 40 mm (1.5 inch) and 76 mm
(3 inches) media roll cores because the post can be moved vertically in a
slot in the center section. The bottom position is used for small cores and
the top position is used for large cores. The post is locked by a straight-
slot screw and has an edge guide that can be moved laterally to fi t various
media widths and—in case of EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial–also be
folded down to a horizonal position to facilitate media load.
Note: EasyCoder PF2i and PF4i only.
If the post is fi tted in the upper position, the locking screw will interfere
with small cores, causing media misalignment. Always fi t the post in its
proper position depending on the size of the media roll core.
The media supply roll post gives better performance than the rotating
media supply hub, giving a nearly constant slippage from full to empty
media roll.
To move the post, remove the screw, twist the post a quarter of a turn and
pull it out. To fi t it in another slot, rotate it a quarter of a turn and twist
back so the lips engage the cut-outs in the sides of the slot. Move it up (3-
inch core) or down (1.5-inch core) as far as it goes and secure it with the
screw.
