Chapter 1 — Introduction
Description
e EasyCoder PX4i/PX6i and 501 XP/601 XP printers can easily
be fitted with an optional cutter, provided the printer is not already
fitted with an label-taken sensor. e cutters are almost identical with
exception for the width. Illustrations in this manual show EasyCoder
PX4i/PX6i printers, but the same principles apply to EasyCoder 501
XP/601 XP printers.
e cutter supports both Intermec Fingerprint and IPL.
e cutter unit is fitted on the same hinges as the front door, which it
replaces, and is connected by a single cable to the DIN-connector on the
printer’s front.
e cutter is available both as a factory-installed option and as a field-
installable upgrading kit. It can be installed by the operator.
e cutter is intended to cut through continuous non-adhesive paper
strip or through the backing paper between labels. It must not be used to
cut through any kind of adhesive or other soft material, that may stick to
the cutting parts and render the cutter inoperable and even damage the
electric motor by overheating.
Maximum paper thickness is 175 µm (≈175 grams/m2) for normal
paper-based materials.
Minimum practical copy length is 38.1 mm (1.5 inches)
e cutter increases the printer’s total weight and length as follows:
EasyCoder PX4i/501 XP:
Weight: 1.0 kg (2.2 lbs)
Length: 28 mm (1.1 inches)
EasyCoder PX6i/601 XP:
Weight: 1.65 kg (3.6 lbs)
Length: 28 mm (1.1 inches)
e cutter can be tilted forward in order to facilitate cleaning and paper
load.
e cutting edge will rotate to home position when the
power is turned on and when the printer is rebooted.
Always keep the cutter unit closed during operation.

• Open the printer’s front door.
• Hold the printer firmly and press the front door sideways to the left so
as to disengage the hinges.
