DTP Model

Side Doors and Megatop

In the dedicated direct thermal printing (DTP) model, the thermal transfer ribbon mechanism is omitted.

The EasyCoder F4 comes with either a short side door, which only covers the print mechanism or with one of two types of long side doors, which encloses the entire media compartment. The standard long side door has a flat top and a slot for external media supply. The 8-inch Megatop version has a hinged transparent canopy that encloses a media roll with a diameter up to 213 mm (8.38 inches). The standard long side door is generally illustrated throughout this manual, but pictures of the short side door can be found in Chapter 4, “Media Load/Tear-off with Quick-Load.”

Integral Liner

Takeup Unit

Media Supply Hub

The integral liner takeup unit is an optional device for peel-off (self-strip) operation, which means that the labels are separated from a liner (backing paper) after printing and the liner is wound up on an internal hub. The unit also includes a guide shaft. Peel-off cannot be combined with Quick-Load guides, see below.

The rotating media supply hub is designed to fit media roll cores with an internal diameter of 38-40 mm (1.5 inch). The hub can be fitted in the same positions as the supply roll post (see Chapter 2, “Installation.”) Being factory installed, the position of the hub is not intended to be changed by the operator.

3-inch Adapter

The 3-inch/76 mm adapter is with a rotating media supply hub and makes it possible to use media rolls with 3 inch/76 mm inner diameter cores. The adapter is pressed onto the media supply hub and secured by a screw.

The 3-inch adapter is not used with a media roll supply post.
