The EasyCoder PX4i has several ways of communicating directly with its
operator: three colored indicator lamps, a display window, a membraneswitch keyboard with 8 keys and buttons on the printer’s front, and a
beeper.
Indicator Lamps
The indicators are colored LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and are used
for the following purposes:
Power (solid green) indicates that the power is on.
Status (solid green) indicates that the printer is ready for use.
Status (fl ashing green) indicates that the printer is communicating.
Status (solid red) indicates an error condition (see Chapter 9).
Intermec Readiness Indicator (blue; on, blink, or off).
Represented by a blue light on Intermec handheld computers, access
points, and printers, the Intermec Readiness Indicator is part of an
exclusive monitoring system from Intermec. The Intermec Readiness
Indicator helps users quickly determine the readiness of the Intermec
device individually and as part of a solution. The Intermec Readiness
Indicator has three different states: On, Blinking, and Off. When the
Indicator is off, the device is not ready to operate individually or as
part of a solution. When the Indicator is blinking, the device may be
initializing, waiting for external resources, or in need of user attention. And when the Indicator is On, the device is ready for use as
part of a solution. Also see Chapter 9.

Cut-Off
The EasyCoder PX4i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. This section describes the case when the media is
to be cut off by an automatic paper cutter (option).
Cut-off can be used for:
• Non-adhesive continuous stock
• Self-adhesive labels with liner (cut only liner between labels)
The cutter is designed to cut through paper-based media with a thickness
between 60 and 175 µm, which roughly corresponds to a paper weight
of 60 to 175 grams/m
not be used to cut through labels, because the adhesive will stick to the
shears, which can damage the cutter.
The optional label taken sensor cannot be used with the cutter.
The rotating cutting blade can be accidently activated while
the cutter is open. To avoid any risk of injury to fi ngers,
always switch off the power before loading media and/or
ribbon in a cutter-equipped printer.

Peel-Off (Self-strip)
The EasyCoder PX4i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms.
This section describes the case when self-adhesive labels are separated
from the liner immediately after printing, which requires an optional
internal liner/batch takeup unit, see Chapter 8, “Options.” This is also
known as “Self-strip” operation.
Peel-off can only be used for:
• Self-adhesive labels with liner
An optional label-taken sensor can hold the printing of the next label
in a batch until the present label has been removed, see Chapter 9,
“Options.”
Note: Peel-off operation sets high demands on the media in
regard of label stiffness, release characteristics of the adhesive
and liner, resistance against electrostatic charging etc., so the
labels will be dispensed properly. Consult your media supplier
or test the media to ascertain that it is suitable for your application.
Note: Save the label indicating the sensitivity number attached
to the media roll. You will need this number to set the media
sensitivity, see Appendix D.

Internal Batch Takeup (Roll-to-roll)
The EasyCoder PX4i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. This chapter describes the case when printed
labels fi tted on liner (backing paper) or pre-perforated tickets and tags
are wound up inside the printer. The roll of printed labels, tickets, or tags
can then be removed and be handled manually. This requires an optional
internal liner/batch takeup unit.
The takeup hub can accommodate 30 to 40% of a full-size media roll.
Internal batch takeup can be used for:
• Self-adhesive labels fi tted on liner
• Pre-perforated tickets with gaps
• Pre-perforated tickets with marks
Note: Save the label indicating the sensitivity number attached
to the media roll. You will need this number to set the media
sensitivity, see Appendix D.

External Supply (Fan-fold)
This chapter describes the case when an external media supply is used,
for example a stack of fan-fold tickets or an external media roll.
It is possible to simply let the media enter the printer through either
of the two slots in the rear plate. However, we recommend to fi t the
optional Intermec Fan-Fold Kit, which provides better guidance of the
media using adjustable guides. The kit can be fi tted to either the upper
or the lower slot in the rear plate.
When using an external media supply, take care to protect the media
from dust, dirt, and other foreign particles, that can impair the printout
quality or cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.
Depending on brand and quality, all direct thermal media are more or
less sensitive to heat, direct sunlight, moisture, oil, plasticizers, fat, and
other substances. Protect it accordingly.
External supply can be used for:
• Tear-off operation
• Cut-off operation
• Peel-off operation (upper slot only)
• Internal batch takeup operation
Note: Save the label indicating the sensitivity number attached
to the media roll. You will need this number to set the media
sensitivity, see Appendix D.

Printing
This chapter explains how to load the printer with
ribbon for thermal transfer printing.
EasyCoder PX4i User’s Guide (IPL version) 41
Chapter 5 — Thermal Transfer Printing
Ribbon Load
The EasyCoder PX4i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock using either direct thermal printing on special heat-sensitive media
or thermal transfer printing using a special ink-coated ribbon.
Thermal transfer printing makes it possible to use a wide range of receiving face materials and gives a durable printout less vulnerable to fat,
chemicals, heat, sunlight etc. than direct thermal printing. Make sure to
select a type of ribbon that matches the type of receiving face material
and to set up the printer accordingly.
The EasyCoder PX4i can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the inkcoated side facing either outward or inward. Illustrations in this manual
show the ink-coated side facing inward.
Even if ribbon usually is loaded in connection with media replenishment,
no loaded media are shown in the illustrations in this chapter in order to
give a clearer view of the ribbon path. Refer to Chapter 4 for media load
instructions.
Most transfer ribbons do not smear at room temperature.
Note: Save the label indicating the sensitivity number attached
to the media roll. You will need this number to set the media
sensitivity, see Appendix D.

topics:
• Description
• Default setup
• Setup Parameters in regard of communication, test/
service, media, and confi guration.
When measures are specifi ed as “dots”, the actual
length in millimeters or inches depends on the
printhead density. Convert as follows:
8 dots/mm (203.2 dots/inch) printhead:
1 dots = 0.125 mm = 0.0049 inches (4.9 mils)

Setup Parameters
Serial Communication
The serial communication parameters control the communication
between the printer and the connected computer or other devices on the
serial port.
Note: The serial communication parameters have no effect on
parallel or EasyLAN communications.
Make sure the printer’s communication parameters match the setup of
the connected device or vice versa. If the setup of the printer and the
setup of the host do not match, the response from the printer to host will
be garbled.
Baud Rate
The baud rate is the transmission speed in bits per second. There are 8
options:
• 1200
• 2400
• 4800
• 9600 (default)
• 19200
• 38400
• 57600
• 115200
Data Bits
Data bits specifi es the number of bits that will defi ne a character.
• 7 Characters ASCII 000 to 127 decimal
• 8 Characters ASCII 000 to 255 decimal (default)
Parity
The parity decides how the fi rmware will check for transmission errors.
There are four options:
• None (default)
• Even
• Odd
• Space
50 EasyCoder PX4i User’s Guide (IPL version)
Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
Stop Bits
The number of stop bits specifi es how many bits will defi ne the end of a
character. There are two options:
• 1 (default)
• 2
Protocol
XON/XOFF (default)
In the XON/XOFF protocol, data fl ow control is achieved by using
XON (DC1) and XOFF (DC3) characters. Message blocks are not
required to be bracketed by the Start of Text (STX) and End of Text
(ETX) characters. However, at power up or after a reset all characters
except ENQ or VT will be ignored until an STX is detected. The message length in this protocol is unrestricted. That is, the printer processes
information as it is being downloaded and stops when there is no more
information.
XON/XOFF protocol conforms to generally accepted industry standards.
No end-of-message response is sent to the host other than XOFF. An
XON will be sent on power up.
Since DC1 and DC3 are used for data fl ow control, the printer status
characters are different than those of the Standard Protocol. If the host
ignores the printer’s XOFF, the printer will resend an XOFF after receiving every 15 characters from the host.

EasyCoder PX4i User’s Guide (IPL version) 51
Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
Intermec Standard Protocol
The Intermec Printer Standard Protocol is a half-duplex protocol. All
data transmissions to the printer consist of status inquiry (ENQ), status
dump (VT), or message blocks. Each message block starts with the Start
of Text (STX) character and ends with the End of Text (ETX) character.
Each message block must be 255 characters or less, including the STX
and ETX characters. The printer responds to each status inquiry or
message block with the printer status. The host should check the printer
status before downloading a message block to the printer. ENQ causes
the printer to transmit its highest priority status, while VT instructs the
printer to transmit all status that applies in the order of their priority.
The possible printer status in descending priorities are

Test Labels
This option has two choices, Pitch and Print Quality.
• The Pitch label contains an even pattern of small dots that reveals
failing printhead dots and variations of printout darkness because of
uneven printhead pressure or bad energy regulation to the printhead.
• The Print Quality label contains number of bar codes with different
characteristics and useful information on printer model, program version, print speed, and media sensitivity setup.
Format
The Format Label contains a single format that you can use to evaluate
the print quality of a particular format. This option prints labels for all
the formats stored in the printer’s memory.
Page
The Page Label tests the ability of the printer to receive and print single
or multiple pages of label data that is sent from the host. This option
prints labels for all the pages stored in the printer’s memory.
UDC
The UDC Label tests the ability of the printer to receive and print single
or multiple user-defi ned characters (bitmap graphics) that are sent from
the host. This option prints labels for all the UDCs stored in the printer’s
memory.
Font
The Font Label contains all the characters in a single font. This option
prints labels for all the user-defi ned fonts (UDF) stored in the printer’s
memory.
Data Dump
If data dump is enabled by selecting the “Yes” option, the printer prints
all data and protocol characters received on the serial port. An ASCII and
hexadecimal representation of each character is printed.
Memory Reset
There are two options. The memory will be reset to factory default
as soon as an option has been selected and <Enter> is pressed. Select
between “All”, which resets the entire memory and “Confi guration”
which just resets the confi guration part of the memory.
LSS Test

Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
Media
The media parameters tell the fi rmware the characteristics of the media
that will be used, so the printout will be positioned correctly and get the
best quality possible.
Media Type
The Media Type parameters control how the label stop sensor (LSS) and
the media feed work. There are three media type options:
• Gap is used for adhesive labels mounted on liner (backing paper) or
continuous paper stock with detection slots. Default.
• Mark is used for labels, tickets, or strip provided with black marks at
the back.
• Continuous is used for continuous stock without any detection slots
or black marks.
Paper Type
The Paper Type parameters control how the transfer ribbon mechanism
and the ribbon sensor work. There are two paper type options:
• DT (Direct Thermal) is used for heat-sensitive media without any
need for a thermal transfer ribbon. Default.
• TTR (Thermal Transfer) is used for non heat-sensitive receiving face
materials in combination with a thermal transfer ribbon.
Label Length Dots
The Label Length setup specifi es the length in dots of each copy along
the media feed direction (X-coordinate). This is used for “label-out”
detection.
Sensitivity (Media Sensitivity Number)
This setup parameter specifi es the characteristics of the direct thermal
media or combination of receiving face material and thermal transfer ribbon, so the printer’s fi rmware can optimize the heating of the
printhead and the print speed. Standard supplies from Intermec are
labeled with a 3-digit media sensitivity number (see Appendix D) which
is used to specify the media grade. The media sensitivity number can also
be changed using PrintSet, third-party software, or an IPL command
<SI>gn[,m]). Default is 420 for direct thermal printing and 567 for
(
thermal transfer printing.
EasyCoder PX4i User’s Guide (IPL version) 55
Chapter 6 — Setting Up the Printer
Darkness
Use this parameter to make minor adjustments of the blackness in
the printout, for example to adapt the printer to variations in quality
between different batches of the same media quality. The value can be set
within the range -10% to +10% where -10 is the lightest and 10 is the
darkest. Default value is 0%.
Label Rest Point
Specifi es where labels stop for removal. Use this for peel-off (self-strip)
applications. Allowed range is -30 (furthest back) to 30 (furthest forward). Default is 0. Also available as an IPL command (
<SI>fn).
Form Adj Dots X
Specifi es where the X-position of the origin should be placed on the
label. Allowed range is -30 (closest to the leading edge) to 30 (furthest
from the leading edge). Default is 0.
Form Adj Dots Y
Specifi es where the Y-position of the origin should be placed on the label.
Allowed range is -30 (closest to the center section) to 30 (furthest from
the center section). Default is 0.
Ribbon Low
Specifi es the value in millimeters of the ribbon supply roll for the ribbon
sensor. When the diameter of remaining ribbon supply roll reaches the
set value, an SNMP trap is sent to the printer’s home page, provided the
printer has an optional EasyLAN connection. Range: 0-80 with preset
values at an interval of 5. A value larger than 80 sets the ribbon sensor to
0. Default value: 0.
The ribbon low sensor can also be set using an IPL command:
<STX><SI>kn<ETX>
Paper Low
Specifi es the diameter in millimeters of the media supply roll for the
paper sensor. When the diameter of remaining media supply reaches the
set value, an SNMP trap is sent to the printer’s home page, provided the
printer has an optional EasyLAN connection. Range: 0-150 with preset
values at an interval of 10. A value larger than 150 sets the paper sensor
to 0. Default value: 0.

Confi guration
Power Up Emulation
The emulation mode lets you print bar code labels that were originally
designed on an 86XX printer in multiples of 10 or 15 mil. When the
printer is working in emulation mode, not all IPL commands are supported. For a complete list of commands available during emulation
mode, see the latest version of the IPL Programming, Reference Manual
(P/N 066396-XXX).
To return from emulation mode, select emulation “none” (default).
Print Speed
You can select the print speed from 4 in./sec. (100 mm/sec.) to 12
in./sec. (300 mm/sec.) with an interval of 1 in./sec. The higher the
print speed, the more wear on the printhead, so do not use a higher
print speed than necessary. Some direct thermal media or ribbon/media
combinations may not allow the highest alternatives without the printout
quality being adversely affected.
Cutter (option)
By default, “Not Installed” is displayed. If a cutter is installed, you must
manually indicate that condition to the fi rmware by selecting either
“Enable” or “Disable.” Once you have done that, you can also use IPL
commands to enable or disable the cutter:
<STX>R<ETX> enter print/confi guration mode
<STX>SIc0<ETX> Disable cutter
<STX>SIc1<ETX> Enable cutter
Label Taken Sensor (option)
To make the printer work in self-strip mode, that is, waiting for a label to
be removed before the next label is printed, the self-strip mode must be
enabled. This can also be done by executing the following commands:
<STX>R<ETX> enter print/confi guration mode
<STX><SI>t0<ETX> Disable self-strip
<STX><SI>t1<ETX> Enable self-strip
If the label taken sensor does not work properly, the sensitivity can be
calibrated in the Setup Mode. Select “LTS Calibration” and follow the
instructions in the display. Make sure that no direct sunlight or interior
lighting interferes with the label taken sensor.

Returning to Factory Default Setup
There are three ways to return to the factory default setup of the printer:
A Insert a special CompactFlash memory card and restart the printer.
B Use the Memory Reset option in the Test/Service part of the Setup
Mode.
C Use the printer’s built-in keyboard as described below:
1 Lift the printhead.
2 Switch on the power to the printer and press the <i> key and wait
until the printer beeps.
3 Swiftly press the following keys:
<d> t <c/Esc> t <c/Esc> t <e>
4 The following message will be displayed:
Factory Default?
Enter=Yes ESC=No
5 Within 10 seconds, press <Enter> to reset the printer to factory
default. The parameters will be reset and the printer will continue the
normal startup.
If you press <c/Esc> or wait until the 10 seconds time-out has passed,
the normal startup will continue without any reset being performed.
Note: The factory default will remove all fi les used to store
settings. It will not reset settings that already has been read
when the fi les are removed. This means that EasyLAN Wireless
settings (SSID, keys, etc.) will retain their values from the previous start. However, the next reboot will reset them to factory
default.

Chapter 8 — Options
Introduction
The EasyCoder PX4i provides a high degree of fl exibility because it has
a modular design. By adding options to the basic printer, the EasyCoder
PX4i can be adapted for a variety of applications. Some options should
be installed by an authorized service technician or are only available as
factory-installed options.

Chapter 8 — Options
Liner/Batch Takeup Kit
This is a factory-installed option only and is used to separate labels from
the liner and wind up the spent liner inside the printer’s media compartment. Labels, tickets, tags, etc. can be wound up inside the media
compartment after printing by fi tting a special guide to the front of the
print unit.
The kit consists of a stepper motor that drives the liner drive roller in the
print unit (fi tted as standard) and a takeup hub in the media compartment. A guide shaft is fi tted to the center section immediately behind the
slack absorber. A guide plate is fi tted at the rear of the media compartment and can be used to replace the standard tear bar on the print unit
for batch takeup operation.
Operation and media load are described in the sections “Peel-Off ” and
“Internal Batch Takeup” of Chapter 4, “Media Load.”
Paper Cutter
The EasyCoder PX4i can easily be fi tted with an optional paper cutter,
provided the printer is not also equipped with a label taken sensor (LTS.)
The cutter unit replaces the front door using the same hinges. It is connected by a single cable to the DIN-connector on the printer’s front. The
paper cutter is available both as a factory-installed option and as a operator-installable kit.
The paper cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-adhesive
paper-based media or through the liner between labels. It must not cut
through any adhesive, which would stick to the cutting parts and rapidly
render the cutter inoperable–possibly also causing damage to the electric
motor. Maximum thickness for normal paper-based materials is 175 µm
(≈175 grams/m
The paper cutter increases the printer’s total weight by approx. 1.0 kg
(2.2 pounds) and its length by 28 mm (1.1 inches).
The paper cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate cleaning and
media load. For media load instructions, see section “Cut-Off” in Chapter 4, “Media Load.”
Should you inadvertently have cut through self-adhesive labels, you will
have to clean the cutting parts. Tilt down the cutter and clean using a
piece of tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

).
Chapter 8 — Options
The cutting edge will rotate when the power is switched on
and when the printer is re-booted. Always keep the cutter
in closed position during operation. Switch off the power
or disconnect the cutter before cleaning. Keep your fi ngers
away from cutting parts!
Note: The cutter must be enabled in the Confi guration part of
the Setup Mode, see Chapters 6 and 7.
Fan-Fold Guides
The fan fold guides provide a more exact guiding of the media, when the
supply is placed outside the media compartment, for example a stack of
fan-folded tickets. The guides come as an operator-installable kit with
installation instructions. The guides can be fi tted in the upper or lower
slot in the rear plate.
Instructions for loading the media is included in the section “External
Supply” in Chapter 4, “Media Load.”
Media Roll Retainer
The media roll retainer is intended for applications where the media may
become misaligned on the media supply hub. The plastic wing-shaped
retainer is simply pressed onto the media supply hub outside the media
roll. Operator-installed, no tools are required.
3-inch Adapter
The 3-inch/76 mm adapter is included in the package and makes it
possible to use media rolls with 3 inch/76 mm inner diameter cardboard
cores.
The adapter is pressed onto the media supply hub and is held in place
by a screw. When fi tting the adapters, make sure that the screw hits a
rounded plastic surface, not a metal leaf spring. Illustrations of how to
load the media using the adapter can be found in Chapter 4.
70 EasyCoder PX4i User’s Guide (IPL version)
Chapter 8 — Options
Label Taken Sensor
The Label Taken Sensor (LTS) is a photoelectric sensor fi tted to the
center section inside the front door. It allows the printer’s fi rmware to
detect if the latest printed label, ticket, tag etc. has been removed before
printing another copy.
The label taken sensor is usually factory-fi tted, but is also available as a
kit for installation by an authorized service technician. It cannot be fi tted
in combination with a paper cutter.
Interface Boards
A number of interface boards are available for use with the EasyCoder
PX4i printer. The interface boards are either factory-fi tted or can easily
be fi tted by an authorized service technician.
The EasyCoder PX4i can accommodate one EasyLAN interface board
plus one other interface board.
EasyLAN boards:
• EasyLAN Ethernet interface
• EasyLAN Wireless interface
Other communication boards:
• Parallel Interface Board (IEEE 1284)

This chapter describes how the Intermec Readiness
Indicators work. It also lists various possible cases of
inferior printout quality, describes possible causes, and
suggests remedies.
EasyCoder PX4i User’s Guide (IPL version) 73
Chapter 9 — Troubleshooting
Intermec Readiness Indicator
The readiness of the printer, individually or as a part of a solution, is
indicated by the blue Intermec Readiness Indicator (IRI).
If the IRI blinks or is switched off, the printer is not ready. Further information can be obtained in the display window by pressing the <i> key. In
case of several errors or similar conditions occurring simultaneously, only
the most signifi cant error is displayed. Once this error has been cleared,
next remaining error is displayed.
Provided the printer is connected to a network, all conditions that prevents printing are reported to the Easy ADC Console. The Easy ADC
Console is a PC-based software which allows a supervisor to monitor all
connected devices that have an Intermec Readiness Indicator, including
handheld computers, access points, and printers.

Note 1: This is only applicable for printers equipped with an EasyLAN interface.
Note 2: A printer that is equipped with an EasyLAN interface, but is not connected to
a network, will have a blinking IRI. To avoid this, the user can set “IP SELECTION” to
“MANUAL” and “IP ADDRESS” to “0.0.0.0”. This will indicate that the user does not
regard the lack of network connection as an error.
Note 3: No trap can be sent when this error/event occurs.
Note 4: This error indicates that the printer has not received an IP address. It is only
applicable for printers with IP SELECTION set to DHCP and/or BOOTP.
Note 5: At most, but not all, printer crashes, the console is reset. This will make the IRI
go off.
Note 6: If the printhead temperature raises above 100°C (212°F), an error occurs and
the printing will be paused until the printhead has cooled off. Meanwhile, the printer is
able to receive commands and data until the buffer is fi lled. The printing is automatically
resumed when the printhead temperature has reached 85°C (185°F).

Printhead Cleaning
Cleaning the printhead on a regular basis is important for the life of the
printhead and for the printout quality. You should clean the printhead
each time you replace the media. This section describes how to clean
the printhead using cleaning cards. If additional cleaning is required, for
example removing adhesive residue from the platen roller or tear bar, use
a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH
CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly

Cleaning the Label Stop Sensor
The label stop sensor, which controls the media feed, is partially enclosed
by two plastic guides. The guides have slots where the light between the
upper and lower part of the label stop sensor can pass. The guides must
be kept free from stuck labels and other objects that can block the light.
If the printer starts to feed out labels in an unexpected way, remove
the two guides as described below and check for dust on the sensors or
anything that may block the beam of light. If necessary, clean the guides
using a cleaning card or a soft cloth soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Do
not use any other type of chemicals.

Chapter 10 — Maintenance
Printhead Replacement
The printhead is subject to wear both from the direct thermal media or
transfer ribbon and from the rapid heating and cooling process during
printing. Thus, the printhead will require periodic replacement.
Time between printhead replacements depends on the print images, the
type of direct thermal media or ribbon in use, the amount of energy to
the printhead, the print speed, the ambient temperature, and several
other factors.
While replacing the printhead, the power must be off. The
fi rmware will not detect the new printhead resistance and
density until the printer has been restarted.
Note: Check that the density of the new printhead matches
the printhead you are replacing. However, you can switch
between densities at will, but be advised that the printout will
be affected accordingly.
