INTRODUCTION
The Intermec EasyCoder 401 Linerless printers come in two main models:
• EasyCoder 401 Linerless Tear-Off (LLT)
• EasyCoder 401 Linerless Cutter (LLC)
Both models are direct thermal printers intended for printing linerless self-adhesive labels. The main difference between the models is that the Tear-Off model uses pre-perforated linerless strip with black marks which is manually torn off, whereas the Cutter model has an automatic paper cutter that cuts off labels from continuous linerless strip with or without black marks.
Linerless printing eliminates the liner (backing paper), that usually protects the adhesive side of self-adhesive labels, and is thus more economi­cal with 60% more labels per roll, which gives fewer paper reloads. Variable label length allows for fewer label sizes in stock. The environment also benefits from less waste.
The linerless paper gives higher resistance against chemicals, scratching and UV light and a darker image with longer life than common direct ther­mal labels with liner.
EasyCoder 401 Linerless printers can be controlled by a host computer using standard or custom-made
application software, e.g. the various Intermec
LabelShop label-design programs for Microsoft Windows. Custom-made applications can be writ- ten in the versatile Basic-inspired Intermec Finger­print programming language.
Optionally, the EasyCoder 401 Linerless printers can be fitted with a scalable fonts kit that allows the use of outline fonts in Speedo and TrueType format and a real-time clock circuit. The Tear-Off model can also be fitted with a label-taken sensor or a paper cutter.
Information on the different options can be found in the Intermec EasyCoder 401 Linerless Technical Manual, which also describes installation and com­puter connection.

The paper stock compartment becomes accessible when the right-hand and front doors or cutter are swung open. Although the printer is operable when the doors are left opened or completely removed, you are strongly recommended to keep them closed during normal operation, so as to prevent the printer mechanism from being exposed to dust.
This illustration shows an EasyCoder 401 LLC printer.
An adapter for 76 mm (3") paper roll cores is included in the delivery and can be fitted on the paper supply spool.
Lock the adapter by means of the screw, making sure that the screw hits the evenly rounded plastic surface, rather than the leaf spring or the cam.
