Chapter 9 Options

For Quick-Load operation (see chapter 5 “Paper Load”), a set of

paper guides is ﬁ tted at the rear of the print unit instead of the

standard guide ring. The outer guide is adjustable for different

paper widths. The quick-load guides are included as standard in

the delivery (either factory-ﬁ tted or loose). They can easily be

ﬁ tted by the operator:

1. Open the upper paper guide (see illustration in chapter 11

“Maintenance/Cleaning the Paper Guides”).

2. Pull out the standard guide ring from the shaft.

3. Fit the quick-load guides onto the shaft as illustrated on the

ﬁ rst page of this chapter.

The Label-Taken Sensor (LTS) is a photoelectric sensor, which

enables the printer's ﬁ rmware to detect if the latest printed label,

ticket, tag etc. has been removed before printing another copy.

The LTS can be enabled or disabled by means of the instructions

LTS& ON and LTS& OFF respectively in Intermec Fingerprint and

the Intermec Direct Protocol.

The EasySet bar code wand is primarily intended to facilitate setup

in regard of paper type, but can also be used to change all other

setup parameters. This is done by scanning a pre-printed CODE

128 bar code composed according to a special standard (FNC3 in

the bar code input data speciﬁ es a setup parameter). The bar code

wand can also be used to read other CODE 128 bar codes as input

data to a Intermec Fingerprint program.

A selection of setup bar codes is provided in Appendix 4. For further

information on how to compose setup bar codes, see the Intermec

Fingerprint 7.xx Reference Manual.

The bar code wand is connected to the topmost connector on the

printer's rear plate, immediately to the right of the main switch.

The Real-Time Clock circuit (RTC) relieves the operator or the

overhead computer system from having to set the clock/calendar by

means of the Intermec Fingerprint instructions DATE$ and TIME$

after each power up. The RTC has its own battery backup with a

life of 10 years or more.
