Transfer Mechanism
The thermal transfer mechanism is only available as a factory-
installed option. It allows the use of both direct thermal and
thermal transfer supplies.
Side Doors
The EasyCoder PF2i printer comes with either a short side door,
which only covers the print mechanism or with a long side door,
which encloses the entire media compartment. The long side
door has a slot for external media supply. The long side door is
generally illustrated throughout this manual, but pictures of the
short side door can be found at the start of this chapter and in
“Media Load” on page 25.
Integral Liner Takeup Unit
The integral liner takeup unit is an optional device for peel-off
(self-strip) operation, which means the labels are separated from a
liner (backing paper) after printing and the liner is wound up on
an internal hub. The unit also includes a guide shaft. Peel-off
cannot be combined with quick-load guides, see below.
Media Supply Hub
The rotating media supply hub is designed to fit media roll cores
with an internal diameter of 38-40 mm (1.5 inch). The hub can
be fitted in the same positions as the supply roll post, see “Media
Compartment” on page 8. Being factory installed, the position
of the media supply hub is not intended to be changed by the
operator.
3-Inch Adapter
The 3-inch/76 mm adapter is used with a rotating media supply
hub and makes it possible to use media rolls with 3-inch/76 mm
inner diameter cores. The adapter is pressed onto the hub and
secured by a screw. Not used with a media supply roll post.
Label Taken Sensor
The Label Taken Sensor (LTS) is a photoelectric sensor that
enables the printer’s firmware to detect if the latest printed label,
ticket, tag, etc. has been removed before printing another copy.
