Computer Connection

All EasyCoder PC4 models are fitted with a 36pin female Centronics connector for the parallel interface port, a DB-9pin female connector for the RS-232 serial interface port, and a USB connector. Though all ports can be connected simultaneously, only one should be used at a time.

Centronics Parallel Interface

If you intend to use the Intermec InterDriver or any version of Intermec LabelShop, connect the parallel communication cable delivered between the printer’s Centronics interface connector and the parallel port of your PC (LPT1).

The parallel interface can also be used for programming the printer using the ESim protocol described in the Intermec ESim v6.XX, Programmer’s Reference Manual. However, prompts and other information from printer to host cannot be transmitted, since the parallel interface is one-way (host-to-printer) only.
