Applicator Interface Connector

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.

START PRINT

Input

See Applicator Signals on page 138 for more information

 

 

 

about the start and end print signals.

 

 

 

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 print engine

 

 

 

to print if a label format is ready. When deasserted

 

 

 

HIGH, the print engine completes the label that is

 

 

 

printing then stops and waits for this input to be

 

 

 

reasserted LOW.

 

 

 

 

4

FEED

Input

When the print engine 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.
