Learning About the Printers
The PX4i and PX6i High Performance printers are rugged,
high-volume, thermal transfer printers. With sturdy, all-metal
construction, these printers are designed to excel at 24/7 printing in
harsh industrial environments and easily adapt to changes in host
environments or applications.
The PX4i and PX6i support a maximum print width of four or six
inches, respectively. Throughout this manual, both models of the
printer are referred to as “printer” unless otherwise noted.
Whats New?

Understanding the Screen
The screen provides background illumination and displays two lines
of text, each with 16 characters. The screen displays error messages, as
well as useful information when you start, setup, and upgrade your
printer.
The Intermec Fingerprint programming language and Intermec
Direct Protocol allow custom-made messages to be composed and
displayed according to the requirements of the application.
Understanding the Printer Sounds
The printer plays sounds in response to certain actions. The sounds
that are played depend on which version of firmware you are running:
If you are running IPL:
the printer beeps when you press a button.
the printer beeps continuously if the printer is out of media or
ribbon.
you can use an IPL command to create an audio alarm. For
help, see the Intermec Printer Language (IPL) Developers
Guide.
If you are running Fingerprint:
the printer beeps when you press a button. You can also use a
Fingerprint command to turn off this beep.
the printer beeps when an error occurs.
you can use Fingerprint commands to specify the frequency
and duration of beeps for different conditions or even make
the printer play simple melodies. For help, see the Intermec
Fingerprint Developers Guide.
Loading Media
The PX4i and PX6i can print on labels, tickets, tags, and continuous
stock in various forms. The method you use to load media depends on
how you want the printer to operate. The PX4i and PX6i can print in
these modes:
Tear-off (straight-through)
Chapter 1 — Using the Printer
8 PX4i and PX6i High Performance Printer Users Manual
Peel-off (self-strip)
• Cut-off
Batch take-up
External supply
• RFID
If you are using Fingerprint, use the F key to load the same type of
media. If you change the media type, or if the printer does not feed the
media properly, simultaneously press the S and F keys to perform
a “testfeed.”
If you are using IPL, save the label with the sensitivity number
attached to the media roll. You need this number to set the media
sensitivity.
Loading Media for Tear-Off Printing
In tear-off, or straight-through, printing mode, you manually tear off
the media against the printers tear bar. In tear-off mode, use these
types of media:
Non-adhesive continuous stock
Self-adhesive continuous stock with liner
Self-adhesive labels with liner
Tickets with gaps (gap stock), with or without perforations
Tickets with black marks (mark stock), with or without
perforations
You can also install an optional label taken sensor so that the next
copy in the batch is not printed until the current copy is removed. For
more information, see Accessories for the Printer” on page 153.
If you are running Fingerprint, use the F key to load the same type
of media. If you switch to a new type of media, or if the printer does
not feed out the media properly, simultaneously press the S and F
keys to perform a “testfeed.”
If you are running IPL, save the label indicating the sensitivity number
attached to the media roll. You need this number to set the media
sensitivity.

Batch takeup printing requires the optional factory-installed internal
liner/batch takeup accessory. The takeup hub can accommodate 30 to
40% of a full-size media roll.
Internal batch takeup can be used for these types of media:
Self-adhesive labels fitted on liner

Loading Ribbon
The printer can perform direct thermal printing on special heat-
sensitive media or thermal transfer printing on special ink-coated
ribbon. The printer can use transfer ribbon rolls wound with the ink-
coated side facing either outward or inward.
Thermal transfer printing lets you use a wide range of receiving face
materials and provides a durable printout that is less vulnerable to
external influences, such as oil, chemicals, heat, and sunlight than
direct thermal printing. Make sure to select ribbon that matches the
type of receiving face material and set up the printer accordingly.
