receives the Start of Print signal, printing will begin. For synchronization
with the print cycle, the End Of Print signal indicates the completion of
the print process. Active LOW.
15 Option Fault
Output JMP 1
When inactive, outputs will
be pulled up to a voltage
determined by this jumper
setting, where:
Pins 1 – 2 = +5VDC;
Pins 2 – 3 = +24VDC; or,
None = A common external
voltage (not to exceed
+30VDC) via external pull-
ups (providing a 20K ohm
feedback path through any
two outputs).
Evoked during a Linear Scanner or RFID fault condition. Active LOW.
[1]
Signal directions are given relative to the printer.
[2]
If active with no current print job, “WAITING FOR DATA” will be displayed. Specifying a quantity of 9999 while keeping this signal “On” will cause non-stop
label printing, except in single label “Imaging Mode”, which will cause the printer to stop between labels.
