Printing with start signal
Application notes
Print-and-Apply systems are normally triggered by an external start signal, which typ-
ically comes from a product sensor placed at the conveyor. In most cases, after a start
signal arrived, a label is printed, dispensed and applied on the product.
This chapter describes…
• different ways of connecting a start signal source
• required settings in the printer parameter menu
Available interfaces
Depending on the printer type and configuration, different interfaces for start signal in-
put are available (Tab. 2).
