Intermec EasyCoder 501 – Service Manual Ed. 7
As an option, the EasyCoder 501 E and EasyCoder 501 SA can
be fi tted with two sensors, that detect the rotation of the media
supply spool and the ribbon unwind shaft and update two coun-
ters, one for each sensor. By means of custom-made application
programs, the counters can be read and used for indicate paper-low
and ribbon-low conditions (as opposed to out-of-paper and out-of-
ribbon conditions, which are supported by the standard error han-
dling). See SYSVAR system array in Intermec Fingerprint v6.14,
Reference Manual.
The sensors require no regular cleaning. However, should any mal-
function be detected, you may try to blow the sensor clear from
dust or media residue before replacing it.
The sensitivity of these sensors cannot be adjusted.
