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).
