Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation  IPL Version, Ed. 130
 Chapter 4     Media Load
External Supply
The EasyCoder F4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous 
stock in various forms. This chapter describes the case when the 
media supply is placed behind the printer, usually in the form of 
fan folded tickets or tags. External supply can be used with tear-off 
(straight-through) printing–preferably with Quick-Load. 
External supply can be used with both short and long side doors and 
there is no need to remove the media supply roll post.
When using an external media supply, take care to protect the media 
from dust, dirt, or other foreign particles, that can impair the printout 
quality or cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.
Depending on brand and quality, all direct thermal media are more 
or less sensitive to heat, direct sunlight, moisture, oil, plasticizers, fat, 
and other substances. You should protect them accordingly.

(as opposed to Quick-Load guides), turn it to vertical position.
