**Some parameters, such as the WLAN ID number and non-standard no- activity time out values can be set using a PC running Intermec PLUS and a data cable link to the printer.

The LCD has a backlight option that allows viewing of the screen in a dark environment or provides better contrast in a very bright environment. Using the backlight decreases the time the printer runs between charges. Refer to the section “Extending Battery Life” for more information.

Loading the Media

You can operate this printer in one of two different modes: Tear-Off or Self-Strip. Tear-Off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip of labels) after it is printed. In Self-Strip mode, the backing material is peeled away from the label as it is printed. After you remove this label, the next one is printed.

The PL4 printer supports direct thermal receipt, label, or tag media.

Note: To print a configuration label, you need to load continuous media (media with no black marks or gaps) into the printer. The printer shipped with a sample roll of continuous media. For help printing a configuration label, see “Verifying the Printer Is Working” later in this guide.

To load the media

1Press the latch release button on the side of the printer. The latch assembly flips open automatically.

2Rotate the media cover back to expose the media compartment and the adjustable media supports.
