The Intermec EasyCoder PF4i is designed to print on labels. Follow these steps to load the label roll:

1. 프린터의 상단 덮개를 엽니다.
2. Place the label roll onto the media supply spindle, ensuring the labels feed from the bottom of the roll.
3. Thread the leading edge of the labels through the print mechanism, past the print head, and under the platen roller.
4. Adjust the media guides to fit the width of your labels snugly but without restricting movement.
5. 상단 덮개를 단단히 닫습니다.

작동 지침

1. 라벨 인쇄

Once the printer is set up and connected to your computer, you can initiate print jobs from your label design software or application. Ensure the correct printer driver is selected and that the label dimensions in your software match the physical labels loaded in the printer.

• 라벨 디자인 소프트웨어 또는 애플리케이션을 실행하세요.
• Create or open the label design you wish to print.
• Go to the print dialog (usually File > 인쇄).
• Select the "Intermec EasyCoder PF4i" as your printer.
• Adjust any print settings as needed (e.g., number of copies, print speed, darkness).
• "인쇄"를 클릭하세요.

2. Direct Thermal vs. Thermal Transfer Printing

The PF4i supports both direct thermal and thermal transfer printing:

• 직접 열전도 방식: This method uses heat-sensitive labels that darken when heated by the print head. No ribbon is required. Labels printed with this method are generally suitable for short-term use as they can fade over time or with exposure to heat/light.
• 열전달: This method uses a ribbon that is melted onto the label by the print head, creating a durable, long-lasting image. This method requires both labels and a thermal transfer ribbon.

Select the appropriate printing method in your printer driver settings or through the printer's control panel/app, depending on the type of labels and ribbon (if any) you are using.

유지

정기적인 유지보수는 최적의 성능을 보장하고 프린터의 수명을 연장시켜 줍니다.

1. 프린트 헤드 청소

The print head should be cleaned regularly, especially if print quality degrades or after changing label rolls. Use a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol (99% pure) or a specialized print head cleaning wipe.

1. 프린터 전원을 끄고 전원 코드를 뽑으세요.
2. 상단 덮개를 열어 프린트 헤드에 접근하세요.
3. Gently wipe the print head surface from one end to the other. Avoid touching the print head with bare hands.
4. 프린트 헤드가 완전히 마를 때까지 기다린 후 덮개를 닫고 전원을 다시 연결하십시오.

2. 플래튼 롤러 청소

The platen roller can accumulate adhesive residue or dust. Clean it with a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

1. 프린터 전원을 끄고 전원 코드를 뽑으세요.
2. 상단 덮개를 엽니다.
3. Rotate the platen roller manually while wiping its surface to remove any debris.
4. Allow it to dry before use.

3. 소모품 교체

Replace label rolls and thermal transfer ribbons (if used) as they run out. Refer to the "Loading Print Media" section for instructions on replacing labels. For thermal transfer printing, ensure the ribbon is correctly installed according to the printer's internal diagrams or specific instructions.
