FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

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.

6

REPRINT

Input

If the REPRINT feature is enabled – this input must be

 

 

 

asserted LOW to cause the printer to reprint the last label.

 

 

 

(See the Configuration and Calibration section.)

 

 

 

If the REPRINT feature is disabled – this Input is ignored.

7

+28V

Power

Interface Power Supply – supplies power to external

 

(Fused at

 

sensors as required.

 

 

 

 

1.5A)

9

RIBBON

Output

If the RIBBON LOW feature is enabled, and the amount of

 

LOW

 

ribbon remaining on the supply spool is below a specific

 

 

 

threshold level – this output will be asserted HIGH.

 

 

 

If the RIBBON LOW feature is disabled – this output lead is

 

 

 

disabled. (See the Configuration and Calibration section.)

10

SERVICE

Output

While either the media cover is open, the printhead is open, the

 

REQUIRED

 

ribbon is out, the media is out, the printer is paused, or an

 

 

operational fault has occurred, this output will be asserted LOW..

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the applicator RESYNCH mode is set to ERROR mode,

 

 

 

this signal will also assert LOW for a RESYNCH error.

11

END PRINT

Output

MODE 0: The Applicator Port is OFF.

MODE 1: Asserted LOW only while the printer is moving

 

 

 

 

 

 

the label forward; otherwise deasserted HIGH

 

 

 

MODE 2: Asserted HIGH only while the printer is moving

 

 

 

the label forward; otherwise deasserted LOW.

 

 

 

MODE 3: (Default) Asserted LOW for 20 milliseconds when

 

 

 

a label has been completed and positioned. Not asserted

 

 

 

during continuous printing.

 

 

 

MODE 4: Asserted HIGH for 20 milliseconds when a label

 

 

 

has been completed and positioned. Not asserted during

 

 

 

continuous printing.

12

MEDIA OUT

Output

Asserted LOW while there is no media in the printer.

13

RIBBON OUT

Output

Asserted LOW while there is no ribbon in the printer.

14

DATA

Output

Asserted LOW when sufficient data has been received to

 

READY

 

begin printing the next label.

 

 

 

 

 

 

De-asserted HIGH whenever printing stops after the current

 

 

 

label, due to either a PAUSE condition or the absence of a

 

 

 

label format.
