We maintain 20 of these printers for one of our customers, and the printers function very well. They are reasonably reliable and do take some hard use, because of the Metal Cover they will stand up to some fairly robust treatment. The main disadvantage with the Printers from my point of view is both the cost and availability of spare parts in the UK. Firstly the spares are generally on a lead time of anything from 2 to 6 weeks, and many suppliers have a minimum order value of £100. The exchange cost of a Main Logic PCB is £250 which in itself is not expensive but there is no repair option. Although I like the functionality and the rugged design, the spares issue in this country is an issue.
Intermec's EasyCoder 3600 is a versatile industrial strength printer based on the legendary 3400, intended for users that require 6" wide labels or tags. The EasyCoder 3600 is ideal for wide-format compliance shipping and container labels, such as ODETTE. Printing large text for applications requiring maximum readability such as chemical drum or pallet labeling is easy using the large outline font included on the 3600. The 3600 printer features label self-strip as standard. The self-strip feature peels the label away from the liner and presents the label to the operator for easier and faster demand labeling. A serial communications interface is standard on the 3600, with Centronics Parallel, IBM Coax, Twinax, and internal EasyLAN Ethernet network interface connections as optional. The internal Ethernet adapter provides high throughput and network management without the complexity, space requirements and fragility of external print servers. Industrial-strength design and long lasting performance - it all adds up to the solid reputation that organizations worldwide have come to trust from the industry's leading manufacturer.
