Introducing the EasyCoder PL4 Printer

Thank you for choosing the Intermec EasyCoder® PL4 Printer. This rugged printer is sure to become a productive and efficient addition to your workplace thanks to its innovative design.

Intermec ensures world-class support for all of your bar code printers, software, and supplies.

This user’s guide gives you all the information necessary to operate the PL4 printer.

The PL4 uses the CPL programming language. To create and print labels using the CPL language, refer to the EasyCoder PL-Series Printer Programmer’s Reference Manual (P/N 073210). You can also use our Intermec PL-Series Utility Software(PLUS) to create labels and send files to your printer. The manual and Intermec PLUS are available on the CD that came with your printer and on our web site at www.intermec.com.

Unpacking and Inspecting

Inspect the printer for possible shipping damage:

Check all exterior surfaces for damage.

Open the media cover (refer to “Loading the Media” later in this guide) and inspect the media compartment for damage.

In case shipping is required, save the carton and all packing material.

Reporting Damage

If you discover shipping damage:

Immediately notify and file a damage report with the shipping company. Intermec is not responsible for any damage incurred during shipment of the printer and will not cover the repair of this damage under its warranty policy.

Keep the carton and all packing material for inspection.

Notify your authorized Intermec reseller or sales representative.
