Intermec EasyCoder C4 User Manual

Intermec EasyCoder C4 User’s Guide ix
Preface
Introduction
Intermec EasyCoder C4 is a series of dedicated direct thermal and
combined thermal transfer/direct thermal printers with a printhead
density of 203.2 dots per inch (8 dots per mm) or 300 dots per inch
(11.81 dot per mm).
The EasyCoder C4 printers are fi tted with both a parallel Centronics
port and serial RS-232 and USB ports.
As an option, the EasyCoder C4 can be fi tted with a paper cutter that
cuts continuous strip or liner between labels.
All EasyCoder C4 printers are delivered with the Intermec InterDriver
for Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me, and Windows NT 4.0/W2000/XP.
The InterDriver makes it possible to produce printouts from most
standard programs run under the various versions of MS Windows.
Label design becomes an easy task with Intermec LabelShop, a series
of “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” PC label-editing programs and
compatible with the full range of Intermec EasyCoder printers. Intermec
LabelShop START is included in the delivery.
EasyCoder C4 can also be run using ESim control commands described
in the EasyCoder ESim v4.00, Programmer’s Reference Manual. These
control commands use short lines of ASCII characters to format the
labels, enter text and bar codes and control the printing, making it
possible to use a terminal or personal computer, that does not operate
under MS Windows.
For comprehensive technical data, refer to Appendix 1.
