SENSOR KIT

Intermec offers a kit containing two sensors, that detect the rotation
of the paper supply spool and the ribbon unwind shaft and update
two counters, one for each sensor. By means of custom-made
application programs, the counters can be read and used for indicate
paper-low and ribbon-low conditions (as opposed to out-of-paper­out and out-of-ribbon conditions, which are supported by the
standard error handling). See SYSVAR system array in Intermec
Fingerprint 6.13 Reference Manual1.

The Sensor Kit is available for the following printer models:

Model Ribbon Low Sensor Paper Low Sensor

EasyCoder 501 E yes yes
EasyCoder 501 SA yes yes
EasyCoder 601 S yes no
EasyCoder 601 E yes yes

The sensor kit consists of two photo-electric sensors and two #T10
Torx screws.

The sensors require no regular cleaning. However, should any
malfunction be detected, you may try to blow the sensor clear from
dust or paper residue before replacing it.

The sensitivity of these sensors cannot be adjusted.
