In addition to the internal media roll, the EasyCoder 501 S, 501 E,
and 501 SA printers can also use direct thermal media or receiv-
ing face material from an external supply, for example an external
roll or a stack of fan-folded tickets. The media is inserted into the
printer through either the upper or lower slot in rear plate. External
supply cannot be used with EasyCoder 501 LinerLess.
It is important that the media is properly aligned in parallel with
the printer's center section. Therefore, Intermec offers an optional
"Fan Fold Kit" consisting of a bracket with two guides that can be
fi tted in either the upper or lower slot in the rear plate. The outer
guide is adjustable for different media widths. The kit also contains
two shafts and two sets of guide rolls that can be fi tted to the rear
of the print unit.
The kit can be used in many different ways as explained later in
this chapter.
