EasyCoder 501
The EasyCoder 501 is a rugged, medium performance multipurpose printer for
computer connection. It is available with either 8 dots/mm or 11.81 dots/mm printhead
density. EasyCoder 501 is fitted with the UBI Fingerprint firmware, which is
compatible with the UBI LabelShop label-editing program, the UBI Windows Driver
(optional parallel interface board required), the UBI Macintosh Driver and the UBI
Direct Protocol. The flexible UBI Fingerprint programming language also allows you
to create your own programs.
As an option, the EasyCoder 501 can be fitted with a special firmware package that
allows scalable outline fonts in TrueType and Speedo formats to be used. In addition
to the selection of Speedo fonts included in the package, an ever increasing number of
standard outline fonts from major distributors becomes available and can be down-
loaded from a PC, directly or via a memory card.
With the introduction of UBI Fingerprint 6.1, the EasyCoder 501 can optionally be
fitted with a paper cutter.
The EasyPak 501 is a ready-to-use package containing an 8 dots/mm EasyCoder 501
printer fitted with a Centronics interface, a memory card adapter and all cables and
firmware required to connect it to a personal computer fitted with Microsoft Windows.
The UBI Windows Driver makes this model an ideal label printer for a large number
of programs run under Windows, and the UBI LabelShop label-editing program allows
you to create your own labels, while you have full control of the final result on your
computer screen.
