●  The output transistor is an open collector and uses the logic to turn the transistor on (voltage 
output) at operation ON. 
●  In the external unit, use a voltage and current that meet the specifications below. 
– IL ≤ 10 mA (VCE: TYP0.6 V, MAX.2 V), Estimate for R, R ≥ 2.2 kΩ 
– Withstand voltage of 50 VDC or more (twice or more the voltage used) 
 
4.3.4.1. Print Output Signal (Output via NPN/PNP Interfaces: Pin Number 19 on Terminal Block 
TB2) 
The print output signal provides a function that outputs a signal to the outside when the IJ Printer is in the 
print-in-progress or print-complete state. 
 
(1)  Switching between print-in-progress and print-complete 
Switch between the print-in-progress signal and print-complete signal on the [User environment setup] 
screen. 
See "9.1. Setting User Environment" in the Instruction Manual. 
 
(2)  The timing of the signal is shown in the figure below.

4.3.4.2. Online Output Signal (Output via NPN/PNP Interfaces: Pin Number 20 on Terminal 
Block TB2) 
The online output signal provides a function that outputs a signal to the outside when the IJ Printer is online. 
 
   
(*): When the next printing operation started within 1 second, 
  turned OFF at the stage at which the printing operation started.
