Chapter 2 Installation

Media Compart- ment, cont.

Since the EasyCoder F4 has a modular design, it uses a media supply roll post that can be fitted in three different positions inside the media compartment. The position depends on the type of side door (long, short, or Megatop) and whether or not the printer is fitted with an integral liner takeup. Alternatively, an external media supply (for example a box of fan folded tickets) behind the printer can be used. A rotating media supply hub is also available as an option, see Chapter 8, “Options.”

Media Supply Roll Post

The media supply roll post fits both 38-40 mm (1.5 inches) and 76 mm (3.0-inches) cores, since it can be moved vertically in the slot in the center section. The bottom position is intended for small cores and the top position for large cores only. The post is locked by a straight-slot screw and has a moveable edge guide to fit various media widths.

To move the post to a different slot; remove the screw, twist the post a quarter of a turn, and pull it out.

To fit the post; rotate it a quarter of a turn, insert it into the approp- riate slot in the center section (see next page), and twist back so the lips engage the cutouts in the sides of the slot. Move it up (large core) or down (small core) as far as it goes and secure it with the screw.

Caution!

Make sure to adjust the position of the post according to the size of the media roll core. When the post is fitted in the top position, the head of the screw will interfere with small (38 mm/1.5 inches) cores, causing media misalignment.
