SATO CL608 & CL612 SERVICE MANUAL
SECTION 3 – Interface Specifications
3-7 Accessory (EXT) Connector
The Accessory (or EXT) connector on the CL608/CL612 printer is intended for use
with the external printer accessories such as label rewinders or applicators. The 14
pin Centronics type connector provides a choice of four different output signals along
with various error conditions.
NOTE: The signals on pins 1, 3 4 and 6 each have an open collector output. These pins normally measure
+.07V maximum when a true condition exists. If a false condition occurs, the voltage will drop to 0V. To
achieve a signal level of +5V, you must add a 1K ohm, ¼ W pull-up resistor between the open collector output
pin and Vcc (pin 13) as illustrated. This will provide a signal level of +5V for a true condition and 0V when
a false condition exists. The maximum voltage that can be applied to these pins is +50V and the maximum
current they can sink is 500 milliamps.
