Chapter 4 Media Load
External Supply
The EasyCoder F4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. This chapter describes the case when the
media supply is placed behind the printer, usually in the form of
fan folded tickets or tags. External supply can be used with tear-off
(straight-through) printingpreferably with Quick-Load.
External supply can be used with both short and long side doors and
there is no need to remove the media supply roll post.
When using an external media supply, take care to protect the media
from dust, dirt, or other foreign particles, that can impair the printout
quality or cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.
Depending on brand and quality, all direct thermal media are more
or less sensitive to heat, direct sunlight, moisture, oil, plasticizers, fat,
and other substances. You should protect them accordingly.
