UBI EasyCoder 501 Ticketing – User's Manual
3
INTRODUCTION
The UBI EasyCoder 501 Ticketing is a rugged
direct thermal printer intended for advanced ticketing
applications.
The EasyCoder 501 Ticketing can be controlled by
a host computer using standard or custom-made
application 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 lan-
guage.
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.
As standard, the EasyCoder 501 Ticketing is fitted
with a scalable fonts kit that allows the use of
outline fonts in Speedo and TrueType format, and a
real-time clock. Optionally, a paper cutter or label-
taken sensor, and various interface boards can also
be fitted.
Information on the options can be found in the UBI
EasyCoder 501 Technical Manual, which also
describes installation and computer connection.
