Ribbon/Media Low
Sensor Kit
As an option, the EasyCoder 501 E can be fi tted with two sensors,
which detect the rotation of the media supply hub and the ribbon
supply hub and update two counters, one for each sensor. Using
custom-made application programs, the counters can be read
and used to indicate media-low and ribbon-low conditions (as
opposed to out-of-paper-out and out-of-ribbon conditions, which
are supported by the standard error handling). See SYSVAR in
Intermec Fingerprint v6.14, Reference Manual or in the Intermec
Direct Protocol v6.13, Programmer’s Guide.
The sensors require no regular cleaning. However, should any
malfunction occur, you may try to blow the sensors clean from dust
before calling for service.
The sensitivity of the sensors cannot be adjusted.
