Loading Media Into the Printer

You can load media into the printer in three different ways:

• Straight-through printing with roll media

• Self-strip printing with roll media

• Fanfold printing (See “Loading Media for Fanfold Printing” on page 5.)

You can load media with the printer power turned on or off. The

following procedures for loading media assume that you have turned the

printer on

Loading Roll Media for Straight-Through Printing

In straight-through printing, you load a roll of media on the supply roll

post and feed it straight through the printer mechanism and out the front

of the printer. As the printer completes the printing of individual labels,

you can remove them from the roll by pulling them down across the tear

bar.

Note: You should find a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number

printed on it attached to your roll of media or a 15-digit number stamped

on the side of the media roll. Save this information. You will need it to set

the correct media sensitivity number. For help, see “Setting the Media

Sensitivity Number” on page 25.

The next instructions cover how to load media for straight-through print

mode using a roll of direct thermal or thermal transfer label media. The

default setting for the printer is direct thermal mode; use PrintSet to

change the printer to thermal transfer mode.

To load the media

1 Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the

printhead disengages.

2 Turn the supply roll retainer counterclockwise to release it and then

slide it to the outer end of the supply roll post.

Why is the printing too light or dark on my Intermec EasyCoder 3400 Printer?

  If your Intermec printer is printing too lightly or darkly, it might be due to an incorrectly set sensitivity command. To resolve this, change the sensitivity setting to match the type of media you are using.
