About Applicator OUT Signals
This section describes the Applicator OUT signals.
Note: Unless described otherwise, all OUT signals are asserted low and
de-asserted high.
Signal Description
Data Ready Asserted when the printer is ready to receive a startprint
signal and execute the current print job. De-asserted
when the print cycle ends. Not supported by S-Style.
Endprint Asserted during or after a print cycle. The endprint signal
also behaves differently depending on the applicator
port endprint mode. When the startprint signal is
received, the endprint signal may or may not be
asserted.
There are five options to choose from:
• Mode 0: Endprint signal is never asserted.
• Mode 1 (Z-Style)/Type 3 (S-Style): Asserted low during
print/feed cycle.
• Mode 2 (Z-Style)/Type 4 (S-Style): Asserted high during
print/feed cycle.
• Mode 3 (Z-Style)/Type 1 (S-Style): Asserted low for at
least 20 ms after print/feed cycle end.
• Mode 4 (Z-Style)/Type 2 (S-Style): Asserted high for at
least 20 ms after print/feed cycle end.
Media out Asserted when the printer is out of media. Activates an
SHM PaperOut event in the System Health Monitor
(SHM). De-asserted when the same event is deactivated.
Ribbon/Media
low
Asserted when the ribbon/media roll diameter drops
below a predefined level. De-asserted while the roll
diameter remains above the predefined level.
Media low is supported only by I-Style.
Ribbon out Asserted when the printer is out of ribbon. Activates an
SHM RibbonOut event in the System Health Monitor
(SHM). De-asserted when the same event is deactivated.
