External Cleaning
Always remove the power cord
before cleaning!
Never spray the printer. Protect it from water
when cleaning the premises.
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2
Wipe external surfaces with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with water or a mild detergent.
Never use any sharp tools for removing stuck
labels. The printhead and rollers are delicate.

Chapter 11 Maintenance
Cleaning the
Paper Guides
Both 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 [(CH3) 2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
flammable, 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.
80
Tilt the upper guide upwards and clean the
areas marked with grey. After cleaning, reassemble in reverse order.

Chapter 11 Maintenance
Printhead
Replacement
The 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.
Intermec EasyCoder F4 – Installation & Operation Ed. 2
Turn the printhead lift knob clockwise to lift
the printhead.

Chapter 11 Maintenance
Printhead Replacement, cont'd.
Remove the paper, if any.
82
Pull the printhead bracket away from the
magnet in the pressure arm.
Disconnect the printhead bracket from the print
mechanism – as indicated by the arrows – and
pull out the printhead as far as the cables allow.
Disconnect the cables from the printhead. Note
the snap-lock on the inner connector. Pull at the
connectors – not the cables!

Chapter 12
Adjustments
Narrow Labels
Adjustment
The 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.

Chapter 12 Adjustments
Label Stop Sensor
Position
The 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 fixed 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.
One Sensor
The various detection points of the sensor
edge of the paper are as follows:
One click out
3 mm
Two clicks out
8 mm
Three clicks out
12 mm
Four clicks out
16 mm
Five clicks out
20 mm

Chapter 12 Adjustments
Printhead
Pressure
The 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 flat-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.

The maximum recommended web thickness is 175µm. A thicker
web may be used, but print quality will be reduced. Web stiffness
is also important and must be balanced against web thickness to
maintain print quality.
Paper rolls fitted inside the printer should be wound with the
printable side facing outwards.
The paper supply must not be exposed to dust, sand, grit, etc. Any
hard particles, however small, can damage the printhead.

• Ticket (w mark)
Important! Preprint that may interfere with the detection of the
black mark should be avoided on the back of the paper. However,
the LBLCOND statement allows the sensor to be temporarily
disabled during a specified amount of paper feed in order to avoid
unintentional detection, see Intermec Fingerprint manuals.
The black mark should be non-reflective carbon black on a whitish
background.
Do not allow any perforations to break the edge of the web, as this
may cause the web to split, resulting in a paper jam.

Appendix 3 Interfaces
EasyLAN 100i
Interface Board
The Intermec EasyLAN 100i Ethernet interface board provides
the printer with a 10BaseT Ethernet or 100BaseTX Fast Ethernet
network connection. You can communicate with the printer via
a LAN (Local Area Network) or provide the printer with its own
home page, so you can reach the printer via internet on the world
wide web (www).
EasyLAN 100i supports most major computer systems and environments. You can assign passwords to restrict both login and printer
access. The internal EasyLAN 100i web pages allow you to continuously monitor printer status and to upgrade the flash memory of
the printer when new firmware becomes available.
EasyLAN 100i supports SNMP for remote monitoring.
When an EasyLAN 100i interface board is fitted in the printer, some
extra menus will be added to the Setup Mode (see chapter 7 “Setup
Mode”). The Ethernet port is addressed in Intermec Fingerprint 7.3
or later as device "net1:" (communication channel 5).

Appendix 5 RFID Module
RFID Module
The EasyCoder F4 can optionally be fitted with an Intellitag® 500 RFID (radio
frequency identification) board that provides the printer with the means to preprogram Intellitag® 500 RFID SmartLabels when the bar code portion of the label is
printed.
The RFID board is addressed in Intermec Fingerprint 7.3 or later as device “uart2:”
The RFID board does not require connection to any device external to the printer.
The RFID module is fitted in the printer in the space allocated for optional interface
boards and therefore cannot be used in conjuction with, or in addition to, any of the
optional interface boards.
Refer to the installation instructions for the RFID Option Board for further
information.
