EasyCoder PL4 Printer User’s Guide 5

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 user’s guide gives you all the information necessary to

operate the PL4 printer.

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.

Unpacking and Inspecting

Inspect the printer for possible shipping damage:

• Check all exterior surfaces for damage.

• Open the media cover (refer to “Loading the Media” later in

this guide) and inspect the media compartment for damage.

In case shipping is required, save the carton and all packing

material.

Reporting Damage

If you discover shipping damage:

• Immediately notify and file a damage report with the

shipping company. Intermec is not responsible for any

damage incurred during shipment of the printer and will not

cover the repair of this damage under its warranty policy.

• Keep the carton and all packing material for inspection.

• Notify your authorized Intermec reseller or sales

representative.

4 Press the battery into the printer until it locks in place.

When the battery is first installed, the Control Panel indicators

may briefly turn on and then go off which indicates the battery

is not fully charged. For help, see “Using the Single Battery

Charger” and “Understanding the Control Panels” later in this

guide.

Charging the Battery

This section explains how to use the following chargers:

• Single battery charger (P/N AT15759-1) that comes with an

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

a set of international contact adapters (P/N AN16740-1).

• 4-pack battery charger (P/N AT16305-2) that is designed to

charge up to four PL4 batteries simultaneously. You must

remove the batteries from the printer to charge them.

Using the Single Battery Charger

Using the single battery charger, you can charge the battery

while it is in the printer or when it is removed. If the battery is

in the printer, the printer must be turned off to charge the

battery.

EasyCoder PL4 Printer User’s Guide 9

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.

To use the single battery charger

1 (Optional) Install the battery in the printer. For help, see the

previous section.

2 Insert the AC contact adapter into the single battery charger.

3 Plug the single battery charger into an AC wall receptacle.

4 Insert the charge cable into the charger jack.

metallic objects may be dropped into the charging bays.
