• Do not put your fingers inside the print mechanism when the
power is on.
• Make sure that the side door cannot unintentionally swing down
when you have your fingers or hands inside the media

Introduction

Scientific Bartender Software.

Media Load – Peel Off
The EasyCoder PM4i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and
continuous stock in various forms. This section describes the case
when self-adhesive labels are separated from the liner immediately
after printing, which requires optional integral self-strip unit with
liner take-up. This is also known as “Self-strip” operation.
Peel-off operation cannot be performed when an optional fan-fold
guide fitted. Peel-off can only be used for:
• Self-adhesive labels with liner, an optional label-taken sensor can
hold the printing of the next label in a batch until the present label
has been removed.
Note: Save the label indicating the sensitivity number attached to
the media roll. You will need this number to set the media
sensitivity.
Note: Peel-off operation sets high demands on the media in regard
of label stiffness, release characteristics of the adhesive and liner,
resistance against electrostatic charging etc., so the labels will be
dispensed properly. Consult your media supplier or test the media
to ascertain that it is suitable for your application.
