5.4 24 V and VFC alarms
The printer can use two alarm connections, a 24 V alarm connection and a volt-free contact
(VFC) alarm connection. The alarms control internal alarm tones and alarm output signals.
You can use the alarm output signals to control external alarm beacons.
NOTE: The VFC alarm is a configurable option on the 8900 printer.
5.4.1 24 V alarm
You can use the 24 V alarm to indicate a range of system events, for example, Faults and
Warnings. The alarm operates in one of the following modes:
• Continuous—the alarm is turned on and remains on until the alarm condition is
cleared.
• Pulsed Continuous—the alarm pulses continuously until the alarm condition is
cleared.
• Pulsed—the alarm pulses twice if an alarm condition occurs.
• None—no alarm is set.
You can use any of the alarm indication modes to indicate any alarm condition.
