Preface
About This Manual
This Service Manual is intended to facilitate installation, troubleshooting
and repair of the Intermec EasyCoder PF2i, PF4i, and PF4i Compact
Industrial in the versions delivered at the date of publishing. Thus, all
information on the Intermec Fingerprint fi rmware is based on version
8.10 and information on the the Intermec Programming Language (IPL)
is based on version 2.10. The on-going product improvement can be
followed in the Printer Technical Bulletins from Intermec.
Note that even if the printers are technical identical (with the exception of
the keyboard overlay), Fingerprint and IPL make the printer work quite
differently and certain devices and options are not supported by IPL.
