76 mm (3-in) Adapter
The 76 mm (3-in) adapter is used with a rotating media supply
hub and makes it possible to use media rolls with 76 mm (3-in)
inner diameter cores. The adapter is pressed onto the hub and
secured by a screw. Not used with a media supply roll post.
Installed by the operator.
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.
The LTS can be enabled or disabled by means of the instructions
LTS& ON and LTS& OFF respectively in Intermec Fingerprint
and the Direct Protocol. The LTS cannot be used in connection
with a paper cutter.
Real Time Clock
The Real Time Clock circuit (RTC) relieves the operator or the
host from having to set the clock/calendar using the Intermec
Fingerprint instructions DATE$ and TIME$ after each power
up. The RTC has its own backup battery backup that will last 10
years or more.
External Keyboard Converter
With this simple converter, a standard ps2 keyboard can be
connected to the printer’s serial port.
Internal Fanfold Guide
This guide facilitates media load from an external supply to the
rear of the printer and provides superior guiding of the media. It
cannot be used in connection with peel-off (self-strip) operation
and cannot be combined with a label slack absorber, which may
restrict the maximum print speed somewhat.
Side Door with Keylock
If the media is valuable or sensitive, such as tickets, you can
install a side door that can be locked with a key. Can be installed
by the operator.
