Chapter 4— Loading Media

Tear-Oﬀ (Straight-through)

e EasyCoder PD4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous

stock in various forms. is section describes the case when the media

is torn oﬀ manually against the printer’s tear bar. is method is also

known as “straight-through printing.”

Tear-oﬀ can be used for:

• Non-adhesive continuous stock

• Self-adhesive continuous stock with liner

• Self-adhesive labels with liner

• Tickets with gaps, with or without perforations

• Tickets with black marks, with or without perforations

e label taken sensor can hold the printing of the next copy in the batch

until the present copy has been removed, see Chapter 2, “Installation;

Print Mechanism.” e label taken sensor is enabled/disabled using the

ESim O command, see the ESim v5.xx for EasyCoder PD4, Programmer’s

Reference Manual. e point of detection is approximately 15 mm (0.6

in) outside the inner edge of the media path.

Note: When using the printer for the ﬁrst time or when chang-

ing to another media with diﬀerent characteristics in regard

of label length, gap length, liner transparency, black mark size

or position, etc., you should calibrate the label gap sensor and

adjust the media feed in the Autosensing Mode, see Chapter 9,

“Adjustments”, after you have loaded the media.

When loading a new roll of media from the same stock as

before, it is usually suﬃcient to press the Feed key and feed out

a label.
