Connections
Power
To connect power to the printer:
1 Place the printer on a level surface, near an AC outlet. You
should be able to easily access the printer to load media and to
remove the printout.
2 Check that the printer is switched off.
3 Connect the power cord from the socket on the rear plate to
an electrical outlet (90 to 265 VAC).
Computer
The EasyCoder PF2i printer is fitted with one 9-pin D-style
subminiature (DB9) socket for the RS-232 serial interface port
(see “Interfaces” on page 143).
RS-232 Serial Interface (“uart1:”)
Use the serial interface with Intermec LabelShop or the Intermec
InterDriver. Also use it with the Intermec Direct Protocol or the
Intermec Fingerprint programming language because you can
receive error messages from your printer. Before you can use the
serial interface, you may need to set up the communication
parameters, such as baud rate, parity, etc. as described in “Setting
Up the Printer” on page 49.
USB Interface (“usb1:”)
Use the USB interface with an USB-compatible version of the
Intermec InterDriver for printing. The USB interface is not
suitable for programming because the host cannot receive error
messages from your printer.
Optional Interface and Network Boards (“uart2:”, “uart2:”,
“centronics:”, or “net1:”)
Several types are available (see “Options” on page 89). Refer to
“Setting Up the Printer” on page 49, “Setup Mode” on page 67,
and “Interfaces” on page 143 for connection and setup
instructions.
