Chapter 4 Media Load

Tear-Off with

Quick-Load

(Straight-through)

Important!

Save the label indicating the sensitivity number attached to the media roll. You will need this number to set the media sensitivity, see Appendix 2.

In addition to the media load procedure for tear-off (straight-through) operation described earlier in this chapter, the EasyCoder F4 can optionally be fitted with a set of Quick-Load guides that makes media load much easier and quicker, especially if the printer has a short side door. See Chapter 8, “Options” for installation instructions.

The printer is normally delivered with two sets of Quick-Load guides: wide and narrow. The wide type generally guides the media better, but the media must be at least of 80 mm (3.15 inches) wide. The narrow type allows a media width as narrow as 40 mm (1.57 inches), but may be less suited for wide and thin media. Illustrations in this chapter show the narrow type of guides.

Quick-Load cannot be combined with peel-off (self-strip) opera- tion.
