Chapter 3 Installation
Controls and
Indicators
Control Lamps
The EasyCoder 501 E has several ways of communicating directly
with its operator: three control lamps, a display window, a
membrane-switch keyboard, and a beeper.
The control lamps are colored LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and
are used for the following purposes:
• Power (green) indicates when the power is on.
• Ready (green) indicates when the printer is ready for use.
• Error (red) indicates when some kind of error has occurred. If
using a serial communication, an error message may be returned
to the host computer.
The display window contains an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and
two lines of text, each with 16 characters. It guides the operator
through the setup and indicates possible errors during printing.
The contrast of the display can be adjusted for the prevailing light
conditions, as described in Chapter 13.
The Intermec Fingerprint programming language and the Intermec
Direct Protocol allow custom-made messages to be composed and
displayed according to the requirements of the application.
The keyboard is of the membrane-switch type and has 22 keys.
Some keys have hard-coded functions in the startup and setup
modes.
In application programs created using the Intermec Fingerprint
programming language, the keys can be assigned to initiate various
functions. An audible signal, which can be turned off if so desired,
acknowledges that a key has been pressed.
