PREFACE
The EasyCoder 71 is simple to operate and a cost effective solution
for your low volume label printing requirements.
The EasyCoder 71 uses direct thermal printing technology. The
labels are printed by moving thermal sensitive paper past a fixed
thermal printhead. The printhead heats small dot patterns (8 dots/
mm = 203 dots/inch) to form the desired labels.
The EasyCoder 71 is designed to work with any computing device
capable of producing ASCII outputs. The connection is through
either the parallel Centronics port or the serial RS 232C port.
Connection cable is not included in the delivery, unless specifically
ordered.
The EasyCoder 71 is delivered with a floppy disk containing a
driver program for Microsoft Windows. The driver makes it possi-
ble to produce bitmapped printouts from a large number of standard
programs run under MS Windows, e.g. MS Word, MS Excel or PC
Paintbrush. UBI has developed a label-editing program called UBI
LabelShop, which runs under MS Windows and is compatible with
the full range of UBI EasyCoder printers.
The EasyCoder 71 can also be run by means of a special control
program described later in this manual. The program uses short
lines of ASCII characters to format the labels, enter text and bar
codes and control the printing. This makes it possible to use a
terminal, or a personal computer, that does not operate under MS
Windows.
The EasyCoder 71 can print labels or tags with a web width of up
to 108 mm (4.25") and a maximum print width of 104 mm (4.09").
A self-strip and label-taken sensor device is available as a factory-
installed option as well as a battery pack and an external display/
keyboard unit.
