UBI EasyCoder 401 – User's Manual
3
INTRODUCTION
The UBI EasyCoder 401 is a rugged industrial
thermal transfer/direct thermal printer intended for
low volume label production of max. 1,000 – 2,000
labels/day.
The EasyCoder 401 can be controlled by a host
computer using standard or custom-made applica-
tion software, e.g. the UBI LabelShop label-design
program for Microsoft Windows. Custom-made
applications can be written in the versatile Basic-
inspired UBI Fingerprint programming language.
The printer can also be connected to an Apple
Macintosh computer or a PC running Windows 3.1
and used to produce printouts from standard appli-
cation programs like e.g. Microsoft Word or Micro-
soft Excel. This requires an optional printer driver
program to be installed in the computer, and – in
case of Windows – an optional parallel interface
board to be fitted in the printer.
Optionally, the EasyCoder 401 can be fitted with a
scalable fonts kit that allows the use of outline fonts
in Speedo and TrueType format, a paper cutter or
label-taken sensor, and a real-time clock circuit.
Information on the different options can be found in
the UBI EasyCoder 401 Technical Manual, which
also describes installation and computer connec-
tion.
