Chapter 5 Media Load

External Supply

The EasyCoder F4 can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. This chapter describes the case when the
media supply is placed behind the printer, usually in the form of
fan folded tickets or tags. External supply can be used with tear-off
(straight-through) printing–preferably with Quick-Load.

External supply can be used with both short and long side doors and
there is no need to remove the media supply roll post.

When using an external media supply, take care to protect the media
from dust, dirt, or other foreign particles, that can impair the printout
quality or cause unnecessary wear to the printhead.

All direct thermal media are more or less sensitive to heat, direct
sunlight, moisture, oil, plasticizers, fat, and other substances.
Depending on the brand and the quality of the media, you should
protect it accordingly.

This diagram shows the media path from an external supply. In case of the standard edge guide

(as opposed to Quick-Load guides), turn it to vertical position.
