1 Models and Options

is chapter provides information on the various models of the EasyCoder

PC4 and contains speciﬁcations and physical measures.

2 Intermec EasyCoder PC4—Service Manual

Chapter 1—Models and Options

1.1 Models

ere are two main models of the EasyCoder PC4; one dedicated direct

thermal (DT) model and one dual-capable direct thermal/thermal transfer

(TTR) model. Both models are based on a common double clam-shell

mechanical platform and have the same type of electronics, so except from

the fact that the direct thermal model has no transfer ribbon mechanism,

there are very few diﬀerences.

Both models are available with two diﬀerent printheads; one with a density

of 203.2 dots per inch (8 dots per mm) and a maximum print width of 4.1

inches (104 mm), and another with a density of 300 dots per inch (11.81

dots per mm) and a maximum print width of 4.02 inches (102.2 mm).

Since there is no need to open the top cover in the DT model, the top

cover locks are cut oﬀ in ﬂush with the bottom of the print frame.

e machine label, which provides information on model, part number,

serial number, etc. is attached to the bottom of the base frame.

e EasyCoder PC4 has a separate power supply unit that delivers 24

VDC to the printer's main board, where it is transformed to the various

voltages required by the printhead, motor, and logics (see Chapter 8.1).

power cords can be used according to local voltages and standards.

e power supply has a ﬁxed 1.5 m (4.9 ft) long cable that is connected to

the printer’s rear plate.

1.2 Options

e available options for the EasyCoder PC4 are memory cartridges, USB,
