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) printing–preferably 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.

(as opposed to Quick-Load guides), turn it to vertical position.
