Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 278 Chapter 11 MaintenancePrinthead Cleaning, cont'd.Wait for approx. 30 seconds to allow the cleaning fl uid to dissolve the residue. Insert most of the cleaning card under the printhead (1). Close the printhead (2).9Allow the cleaned parts to dry before loading any paper.Pull out the cleaning card. If necessary, repeat the process with a new cleaning card.8710
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2 79 Chapter 11 Maintenance1External CleaningAlways remove the power cordbefore cleaning! Wipe external surfaces with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent.3Never use any sharp tools for removing stuck labels. The printhead and rollers are delicate.Never spray the printer. Protect it from water when cleaning the premises.24
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 280 Chapter 11 MaintenanceCleaning the Paper GuidesBoth parts of the label stop sensor, which controls the paper feed, are covered by plastic guides. The guides are provided with seemingly non-transparent areas, through which the light between the two parts of the label stop sensor is transmitted. These areas (indicated by a shade of grey in illustration #2 below) must be kept clean from dust, stuck labels, and adhesive residue.If the printer starts to feeed our labels in an unexpected way. lift the upper guide – as described below – and check for anything that may block the beam of light (dust, stuck labels, adhesive residue etc.). If necessary, clean the guides using a cleaning card or a soft cloth soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use any other the of chemical. Be careful not to scratch the guides.Caution!Isopropyl alcohol [(CH 3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly fl ammable, moderately toxic and mildly irritating substance. Lift the inner part of the upper guide and pull it outwards,disengaging it from the lower guide. Take care not to damage the cable.Tilt the upper guide upwards and clean the areas marked with grey. After cleaning, reas-semble in reverse order.1 2
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2 81 Chapter 11 MaintenancePrinthead ReplacementThe printhead is subject to wear both from the direct thermal paper and from the rapid heating and cooling process during printing. Thus, the printhead will require periodical replacement.Time between printhead replacements depends on the print images, the type of paper in use, the amount of energy to the printhead, and several other factors.Note!While replacing the printhead, the power should be switched off.Open the side door. Turn the printhead lift knob clockwise to lift the printhead.1 2
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 282 Chapter 11 MaintenancePrinthead Replacement, cont'd.Pull the printhead bracket away from the magnet in the pressure arm.34 Disconnect the printhead bracket from the print mechanism – as indicated by the arrows – and pull out the printhead as far as the cables allow.65Disconnect the cables from the printhead. Note the snap-lock on the inner connector. Pull at the connectors – not the cables!Remove the paper, if any.Snap-lock
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2 83 Chapter 11 MaintenancePrinthead Replacement, cont'd.Connect the two cables to the replacement printhead. Put back the printhead in reserse order and check that the printhead cables run freely.9Load a new supply of paper as described ear-lier in this manual.Close the printhead so the magnet engages the printhead bracket.8710
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 284 Chapter 12Narrow Labels AdjustmentThe printer is factory-adjusted for full size paper width. When using paper less than full width, it is recommended to adjust the pressure arm so it becomes centred on the paper. Thereby, an even pressure across the paper is obtained. A poorly adjusted pressure arm may be detected by a weaker printout on the inner part of a less than full width paper. Similarly, when reverting to a wider paper, the arm should be adjusted, or the printout on the outer part of the paper could be weak.To adjust the pressure arm, proceed as follows:• Loosen the nut that holds the pressure arm. Move the arm inwards or outwards until the arrow on the tip of the arm becomes centre-aligned with the paper web. While moving the arm, push at the part where the nut is situated, not at the tip. If the arm is hard to move, lift the printhead and pull the printhead bracket free from the magnet in the arm. • After having centred the arm, lock it by tightening the nut.

Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2 85 Chapter 12 AdjustmentsLabel Stop SensorPositionThe label stop/black mark sensor (LSS) is a photoelectric sensor that controls the printer's paper feed by detecting gaps between labels, slots in paper strip, or black marks, depending on the printer's setup in regard of media type (see chapter 6 “Setting Up the Printer”). A prerequisite is obviously that the LSS is aligned with the slots or black marks.Thus, the LSS can be moved laterally between 5 fi xed positions. There is one sensor on top of the upper paper guide and underneath the bottom of the print unit. These two guides must be set individually to the same position. Push them inwards as far as they go and then pull them out – one at the time – while counting the clicks from the snap-locks.The various detection points of the sensor in relation to the inner edge of the paper are as follows:One click out 3 mm .118" Two clicks out 8 mm .315"Three clicks out 12 mm .472"Four clicks out 16 mm .639"Five clicks out 20 mm .787"If using irregularly shaped labels, align the LSS with the front tips of the labels Upper part of LSSPrint Unit(printhead and headlift shaft omitted for improved visibility)One Diode + One SensorLower part of LSSOne Sensor
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 286 Chapter 12 AdjustmentsPrinthead PressureThe pressure of the thermal printhead against the paper is factory adjusted. However, the use of thicker or thinner paper than normal could require the printhead pressure to be readjusted.Using a fl at-tipped screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw clockwise for increased pressure (+), or counter-clockwise for less pressure (-). Print a few labels, preferably test labels (see chapter 6 “Setting Up the Printer”), and check the printout. Increased pressure generally gives a darker printout and vice versa. Repeat until the desired result is obtained.To return to the factory setting, tighten the screw (+) as far as it goes and then loosen it (-) six (6) full turns.Note!Do not use a higher printhead pressure than necessary, because it may increase the wear of the printhead and thus shorten its life.Adjustment Screw
