5. Interface Specifications					Programming Manual
		PIN Assignments CL 408/412 and CL608/612 (VA)
	PIN		DIRECTION		SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
	1		To Host	Label Out - This pin goes low (0V) when a label out
				error exists.
	2		Reference	Signal Ground
	3		To Host	Ribbon Out - This pin goes low when the ribbon is out.
	4		To Host	Error - This pin goes low when the printer detects an
				error condition such as head open or receiving buffer
				full.
	5		To Printer	Print Start - The printer will print one label when this
				pin is pulled to ground. This signal must be enabled
				by placing switch DSW3-5 on the Control Panel in the
				ON position.
	6		To Host	End Print - It is used to drive an applicator or other
				external device requiring synchronization with the print
				cycle. You may choose between four types of output
				signals using control panel DSW3-6 and DSW3-7 sel-
				ections.
	7		To Printer	Print Repeat - The printer repeatedly prints the current
				label in the print buffer immediately after receiving this
				signal.
				DSW3-8 must be ON.
	10		To Host	+12V - Used to power accessory items.
	12		To Host	+24V - Used to power accessory items.
	13		To Host	Vcc - +5V
	14		Reference	Frame Ground

NOTE: The signals on pins 1, 3 4 and 6 each have an open collector output. These pins normally measure +.07V maximum when a true condition exists. If a false condition occurs, the voltage will drop to 0V. To achieve a signal level of +5V, you must add a 1K ohm,

¼W pull-up resistor between the open collector out- put pin and Vcc (pin 13) as illustrated. This will pro- vide a signal level of +5V for a true condition and 0V when a false condition exists. The maximum voltage
