INTRODUCTION
The UBI EasyCoder 501 Ticketing is a rugged
direct thermal printer intended for advanced ticketing
applications.
The EasyCoder 501 Ticketing can be controlled by
a host computer using standard or custom-made
application software, e.g. the UBI LabelShop label-
design program for Microsoft Windows. Custom-
made applications can be written in the versatile
Basic-inspired UBI Fingerprint programming lan-
guage.
The printer can also be connected to an Apple
Macintosh computer or a PC running Windows 3.1
and used to produce printouts from standard appli-
cation programs like e.g. Microsoft Word or Micro-
soft Excel. This requires an optional printer driver
program to be installed in the computer, and – in
case of Windows – an optional parallel interface
board to be fitted in the printer.
As standard, the EasyCoder 501 Ticketing is fitted
with a scalable fonts kit that allows the use of
outline fonts in Speedo and TrueType format, and a
real-time clock. Optionally, a paper cutter or label-
taken sensor, and various interface boards can also
be fitted.
Information on the options can be found in the UBI
EasyCoder 501 Technical Manual, which also
describes installation and computer connection.

IMPORTANT PRINTHEAD AND RIBBON INFORMATION
The use of any thermal transfer ribbons, other than those supplied by UBI, will invalidate 
the printhead warranty. UBI thermal transfer ribbons are engineered specifically for this printhead.
The quality of thermal and thermal transfer media supplies in this printer is also of great importance 
for the quality of printing bar codes and a long life of the printhead. UBI has carefully matched the 
paper we recommend/provide to the needs of this printer. We therefore strongly advise of using
only UBI recommended/provided supplies to ensure a high quality printing.

GET TO KNOW YOUR PRINTER, cont'd.
The paper stock compartment becomes accessible when the
right-hand door is swung open. Although the printer is operable
when this door is left opened or completely removed, you are
strongly recommended to keep it closed during normal opera-
tion, so as to prevent the printer mechanism from being exposed
to dust.

PAPER LOAD, cont'd.
External Supply The EasyCoder 501 Ticketing can use various types of external
supplies, e.g. stacks of fan-folded tickets or an external paper
roll. When the external paper intake is used for stacks placed
behind the printer, the top of the stack should not be higher than
the intake.
1 Turn the printhead lift knob to “Load” position.
2 Thread the paper through the external paper intake on the
printer's rear plate. The outer guide is adjustable to fit
different paper widths.
3 Thread the paper underneath the guide shaft and under the
guide plate of the label stop sensor.
4 Thread the paper past the print roller.
5 Adjust the green guide ring so the paper is guided with a
minimum of play.
6 Turn the printhead lift knob to “Print” position.
7 Feed out at least one ticket by pressing the < Feed > key.
Note!
When an external paper supply is used, take precautions to
protect the paper stock from sand, grit and other hard particle,
that may damage the printhead.

Cleaning on a regular basis is important for life of the printer
and for the printout quality.
1 Turn the printhead lift knob to “Load” position and remove
the paper web.
2 Insert a Printhead Cleaning Card into the print mechanism,
allowing 2–3 cm (1") to extend in front of the printhead.
3 Turn the knob clockwise to “Print” position and slowly pull
out the cleaning card. Allow the Cleaning Card to dry for a
few seconds and repeat the procedure.
4 Using a piece of cloth or blotting paper slightly moistened
with isopropanol, clean the print roller and the tear-off edge.
5 Important!
Allow a couple of minutes for the cleaned parts to get dry
before loading the paper.
Wipe the outside surfaces using a damp piece of cloth. If
necessary, add a mild detergent. Be careful not to allow any
water to penetrate into the interior of the printer.
Protect paper from dust by always keeping the stock compart-
ment door closed. In case of an external paper supply, it is
strongly recommended that both the actual supply and the web
path be protected by some kind of dust cover. Dirt, sand, grit etc.
may rapidly cause irreparable damage to the printhead.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Printhead and
Print Roller
WARNING!
The printhead and print roller
are very delicate.
Never use any tools to remove stuck
labels or to clean the printhead.
CAUTION!
Remove the power cord
before cleaning.
