less 
Relay output (optional) 
Contact C x 1 (*5) 
30 VDC/1A, 
30 VAC/0.5 A 
(resistance load) (*6) 
Operates when the IJ Printer is 
in the fault state.   
Operates when the IJ Printer is 
in the warning state. 
Operates when printing is in 
progress in the IJ Printer. 
No-contact output 
Open collector (NPN) 
•  Sink current: Maximum   
20 mA 
•  ON voltage: 0.5 V or less

completes printing. 
(pulse output of up to one 
second) 
Operates when the IJ Printer is 
online.   
(*5):  For inductive load, protect the contact with a surge absorber and others. 
(*6):  Relay output and no-contact output can be used at the same time. 
(*7):  Select either [print.-in-progress] or [print. complete] on the screen.
