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.

PRINTHEAD CLEANING
Open the front and right-hand doors.

3 4
2
Remove the paper supply.
Cleaning of the printhead on a regular basis, preferably in connection with paper reload, is important for the life of the printhead and for the printout quality. Below is a description on how to clean the printhead by means of Cleaning Cards. If additional cleaning is required, e.g. for removing adhesive residue from the print roller, dispenser edge, or label path, use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Caution:
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
flammable, moderately toxic and mildly irritating substance.

IMPORTANT!
It is recommended to clean all surfaces in contact with the paper, including the
rubber roller, from adhesive residue at an interval of max. 3 km of paper feed
(corresponds approximately to 20 full size paper rolls). Use a cleaning card or a lint-
free cotton swab or cloth soaked with isopropyl alcohol.

CUTTER CLEANING

Open the cutter.

Disconnect the brace and open the anvil blade by
lifting the arm. Wipe clean the anvil blade with the swab.
Regular cleaning from adhesive residue at the cutting edge of the anvil blade at an interval of approximately 50,000 cuts is essential for troublefree operation. Use WD-40 or a similar substance1. If additional cleaning of the interior of the cutter unit is required, use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Caution:
WD-40 is an anti-corrosion spray lubricant manufactured
by WD-40 Company Ltd., Milton Keynes, England,
which contains 50% alifatic petroleum distillate.
It is highly flammable and may be harmful if inhaled or
consumed and at prolonged skin contact.
Before use, carefully read the warning text on the container.
Soak a cotton swab with WD-40 multi-spray or similar1.
Close the anvil blade and lock it with the brace.
Then close the cutter.

/. In food industry and retail applications subject to specific regulations, the WD­40 could be replaced with a pure consumable vegetable oil. After dis­solving the residue, carefully wipe clean the anvil blade.

PRINTHEAD REPLACEMENT
The quick-mount thermal printhead is easy to replace:
• Turn off the printer.
• Open the front and right-hand doors.
• Lift the printhead and remove the paper stock.
• Turn the printhead lock handle counter-clockwise to open posi­tion, see illustration.
• Remove the printhead assy carefully as far as the cables allow.
• Remove the two printhead cables by pulling at the connectors.
• If you want to change the lateral position of the printhead, move the #T20 Torx screw to its alternative position.
• Connect the two cables to the printhead.
• Fit the replacement printhead assy back into the bracket so the guide screw fits into its slot and the rear end of the assy is held by the two lugs.
• Turn the locking handle clockwise to locked position.
• Load paper. Then lower the printhead.
• Turn on the power. At power-up, the printer will automatically reset itself to the characteristics of the printhead in regard of head resistance.
• Close the front and right-hand door and the printer is ready for operation.
