Applicator Interface Connector Pin Configuration

The Applicator Interface Assembly is available in two versions: a +5 V I/O and a

+24–28 V I/O. Table 20 lists the pin configurations and functions of the applicator interface connector for both +5 V and +24–28 V operation.

Pin	Signal Name	Signal Type	Description
No.
1	I/O SIGNAL	I/O Signal	Using jumper J5, this pin can be configured as isolated or
	GROUND	Ground	non-isolated from the printer signal ground. See Jumper

			on page 173 for more information.
1	I/O SIGNAL	I/O Signal	No jumpers to configure.
	GROUND	Ground	Important • Customer must provide this external
	(+24-28V Return)		ground (can come from pin 8). See Pinouts for
			+24-28 V I/O Operation on page 174 for more
			information.
2	+5V I/O	Power	Using jumper J4, this pin can be configured as isolated or

	the fuse only with
	one of the same
	type and rating.
2	+24-28V I/O	Power	No jumpers to configure. This +24-28V power source
			also supplies voltage for output signal pull-up resistors.
			Important • Customer must provide this external
			power (can come from pin 7). See Pinouts for
			+24-28 V I/O Operation on page 174 for more
			information.
3	START PRINT	Input	• Pulse Mode—The label printing process begins on the
			HIGH to LOW transition of this signal if a format is
			ready. Deassert this signal HIGH to inhibit printing of
			a new label.
			• Level Mode—Assert LOW to enable the printer to
			print if a label format is ready. When deasserted HIGH,
			the printer completes the label that is printing then
			stops and waits for this input to be reasserted LOW.
4	FEED	Input	When the printer is idle or has been paused, assert this
			input LOW to trigger repeated feeding of blank labels.
			Deassert HIGH to stop feeding blank labels and register
			to the top of the next label.
5	PAUSE	Input	To toggle the current Pause state, this input must be
			asserted LOW for 200 milliseconds, or until the
			SERVICE REQUIRED output (pin 10) changes state.
