 Chapter 1 — About the Printers

About Printer Languages

The printer uses the Intermec Fingerprint printer command language
by default. You can load and run Fingerprint programs and send
Fingerprint commands or Direct Protocol print jobs directly to the
printer.
The printer supports these command languages:
• Direct Protocol (DP)
• IPL (Intermec Printer Language)
• ESim (EPL command language simulator)
• ZSim (ZPL command language simulator)
• DSim (DPL command language simulator)
You can change the default printer command language through the
printer web page, the Main Menu, or PrintSet.

About ESim/ZSim Auto-Configuration

Use the ESim/ZSim auto-configuration feature when you are
replacing another printer whose command language is unknown.
When the printer command language is set to ESim/ZSim, on its first
run the printer automatically calibrates the media, identifies the
command language of the first incoming print job, configures the
printer for the appropriate language (ESim or ZSim), and prints the
label.
Note: Load media before you turn the printer on, since the printer
automatically calibrates the media when it starts in ESim/ZSim
auto-configuration mode.

The data stream must be at least 10 bytes long. Command language

identification is activated after a 2-second timeout, or when the data
buffer is full (1 MB).
The printer command language is saved to memory, and remains set to
ESim/ZSim until you change this setting.

• Choose a location within 1.5 m (5 ft) of an electrical outlet.
• Choose appropriate mounting hardware (not supplied) for the
mounting surface.
• The mounting hardware must provide at least 6 mm (0.25 in) of
clearance between the mounting surface and the bottom of the
screw head. The screw head width should be 6 to 8 mm (0.24 to 0.33
in).
• Intermec recommends that you use pan-head or flathead screws
with appropriate anchors for drywall, or for cement, concrete
block, or plasterboard walls. Use wood screws only for wooden
surfaces, and ensure the screw is long enough to be sunk to a depth
of at least 12.5 mm (0.5 in).

Caution: Be sure that the mounting surface can safely support the
weight of the printer.

1 Choose the appropriate wall-mount template for your printer and

use the template to locate and drill holes in the mounting surface.

Note: For mounting to wood surfaces, use a drill of 5 to 8 mm (0.2 to

0.3 in), or as appropriate for your mounting hardware.

provide 8 hours of charge (plus one hour of standby time) when you
are printing a 150-mm (6-in) label every 7 minutes.

About Media
The printers can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous stock.
The procedure you use to load media depends on how you are
operating the printer and the options you have installed.

About Linerless Media

If you are printing on linerless media, follow these guidelines for best
results:
• You must install the linerless roller accessory before printing. For
more information on this accessory, contact your local Intermec
representative.
• When removing printed labels on linerless media, tear the label up
towards the top of the printer to prevent media jams.
• Do not use linerless media with the cutter accessory.

About Tag Media

If you are printing on tag media, follow these guidelines for best
results:
• Install the optional thick media springs before printing. For more
information on this accessory, contact your local Intermec
representative.
• After you install the thick media springs, adjust the Media
Sensitivity and Darkness settings for best print quality.
• To extend the life of the printhead, Intermec recommends that you
install the original springs when printing on other types of media.

Adjust the Media Holders

The first time you load media in the printer, or when you use different
sizes of media, you must adjust the media holders. After you adjust the
media holders, you do not need to adjust them again for a new roll of
the same size media.

Note: The illustrations show the PC43d printer. Adjusting the media
holders is done the same way for all printers.

2 Copy the firmware upgrade file (typically in .bin format) to the root
of a USB storage device.
3 Insert the USB storage device into one of the USB host ports.
4 Restart the printer. The upgrade file is loaded into the printer
memory. This may take several minutes.
For the LCD printer, after the upgrade file is loaded, the printer
restarts and the Ready screen appears. The printer is ready to use.
For the icon printer:
a As the upgrade file is loaded, all icons in the icon panel turn on
and then turn off, except for the Maintenance icon.
b After the upgrade file is loaded, the printer restarts and the
Ready-to-Work indicator turns on.
If the Ready-to-Work indicator turns on and stays on, the
upgrade process is finished and the printer is ready to use.
If the Ready-to-Work indicator is flashing, you need to restart
the printer once again to complete the upgrade.
If the Ready-to-Work indicator is off, there may be a condition
that is preventing the printer from restarting. For example, the
printer lid may not be fully closed.

 Chapter 6 — Maintain the Printer

Clean the Printhead

Cleaning the printhead on a regular basis is important for the life of
the printhead and for the print quality. You should clean the
printhead each time you replace the media. Follow this procedure to
clean the printhead using the cleaning card. If you need to clean
additional residue from the platen roller or tear bar, use a cotton swab
moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

Caution: Never use hard or sharp tools to peel away stuck labels
for other material. The printhead is delicate and can easily be
damaged.

1 Turn the printer off and disconnect the printer from power.
2 Open the printer and remove the media and ribbon (if installed).
3 Insert most of the cleaning card under the printhead, and then
lower the printhead.
4 Pull out the cleaning card and raise the printhead.
5 Wait for approximately 30 seconds to allow the cleaning fluid to
dissolve the residue.
6 Repeat Steps 3 through 5 if necessary.
7 If necessary, clean residue from the platen roller or tear bar with a
cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
8 Once the parts are dry, replace the media (and ribbon) in the
printer.
9 Close the printer, reconnect power, and turn on the printer.

Replace the Printhead

1 Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord.
2 Pull one or both of the printer latches toward the front of the
printer and lift the printer lid.
For a thermal transfer printer, remove the ribbon.

5 Disconnect the cable from the printhead and remove the printhead
from the printer.

Warning: Do not touch the printhead surface area.

6 Connect the ribbon cable to the new printhead.

7 Slide the printhead into the holders in the print mechanism.
8 Press the printhead onto the locator pins in the mechanism.
9 Tilt the printhead up into the printer lid and press it into place.
When the printhead is in the correct position, the printhead latches
snap into place on the sides of the printhead.
10 For a thermal transfer printer, install the ribbon.
11 Close the printer lid until it snaps shut.
12 Print a test label.

Clean the Platen Roller

Follow this procedure to remove, clean, and replace the platen roller as
part of standard maintenance for the printer. Intermec recommends
that you check the platen roller for debris and clean it each time you
replace media.

1 Turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord.

2 Pull one or both of the printer latches toward the front of the
printer and lift the printer lid.
3 Remove the installed media.
4 Press the roller latches apart and tilt them up.

5 Pull the latches up to remove the platen roller from the printer.

6 Remove any adhesive residue from the roller with a cotton swab
moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
7 Reverse Steps 4 and 5 to install the roller.
8 Press the latches into the printer until they snap into place.
9 Replace the media in the printer.
10 Close the printer lid until it snaps shut.

Clean the Exterior of the Printer

Make sure to keep the exterior of the printer clean. Maintaining a clean
exterior will reduce the risk of dust or foreign particles reaching the
inside of the printer and affecting printer functionality.
Use a soft cloth, possibly moistened with water or a mild detergent,
when cleaning the printer exterior.
Make sure to keep the surface surrounding the printer clean as well.
