38 Intermec EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial—User’s Guide (Fingerprint)
Chapter 4—Media Load
This diagram shows the media path from an external supply. In case of the standard
edge guide (as opposed to Quick-Load guides), turn it to vertical position.
External Supply (Fan-fold)
The EasyCoder PF4i Compact Industrial can print on labels, tickets,
tags, and continuous stock in various forms. This section 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) printing—preferably with Quick-Load.
External supply can only be used with a long side door, not the megatop.
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.
