Applicator Interface Connector

Applicator Interface Connector

An external DB-15 connector is present on the rear panel of the print engine for communication with a customer applicator. An optional DB-15 to DB-9 adapter cable (Zebra part number 49609) is available to accommodate existing DB-9 interfaces.

Applicator Signals

The print engine communicates with a customer applicator through a series of signals on the pins in the DB-15 connector. Each pin causes different things to happen when the signal is active (asserted) or not active (deasserted). Applicator Interface Connector Pin Configuration on page 140 provides additional information about each pin and signal.

The following timing diagrams show how applicator signals function in each applicator mode during the stages of printing a non-RFID label. For more information about the applicator modes (which affect the end print signal), see Set Applicator Port Mode on page 84. For more information about applicator signals during RFID operation, see the RFID Programming Guide (part number 58978L-001).
