EasyCoder PL4 Printer Quick Start Guide 4

Introducing the EasyCoder PL4 Printer

Thank you for choosing the Intermec EasyCoder®PL4 Printer.

This rugged printer is sure to become a productive and efficient

addition to your workplace thanks to its innovative design.

Intermec ensures world-class support for all of your bar code

printers, software, and supplies.

This quick start guide gives you the information you need to

confirm the printer is working and start printing. For

information on connecting your printer to your network or

terminals, see the EasyCoder PL4 Printer User’s Guide

(P/N 073204).

The PL4 uses the CPL programming language. To create and

print labels using the CPL language, refer to the EasyCoder

PL-Series Printer Programmer’s Reference Manual (P/N 073210).

You can also use our Intermec PL-Series Utility Software™

(PLUS™) to create labels and send files to your printer. The

manual and Intermec PLUS are available on the CD that came

with your printer and on our web site at www.intermec.com.

Charging the Battery

Do not attempt to charge batteries with the

charger while printing. Attempting to print

while charging can result in improperly

charged batteries.

Attention: Ne pas essayer de charger des

batteries à l’aide du chargeur pendant

l’impression. Toute tentative d’impression

pendant le processus de charge risque de

produire des batteries mal chargées.

You can order two chargers for the battery:

• Single battery charger (P/N AT15759-7) that comes with an

AC contact adapter for the U.S.A (110V). You can also order

a package of international contact adapters

(P/N AN16740-1).
