8 GROUND
ISOLATED
Ground Using jumper J5, this pin can be configured as isolated
or non-isolated from the printer circuit ground (see
Jumper Configuration onpage6). Default position is
set to isolation.
9 RIBBON LOW Output Asserted LOW if the Supplies Warning feature is
enabled and the amount of ribbon remaining on the
supply spindle is below the threshold level.
10 SERVICE
REQUIRED
Output Asserted LOW in the following circumstances:
• the printhead is open
• the ribbon or media is out
• the printer is paused
• an operational fault occurs
• a Resynch error occurs while the applicator
Resynch mode is set to Error mode
11 END PRINT Output See Applicator Signals onpage9 for more information
about the start and end print signals.
Note • A format (
^XA ... ^XZ) that does not print
will signal that it is being processed. However, it
will not trigger an End Print signal because no
motion/printing is required.
•MODE 0—The applicator port is OFF.
•MODE 1—Asserted LOW only while the printer is
moving the label forward; otherwise deasserted
HIGH.
•MODE 2—Asserted HIGH only while the printer is
moving the label forward; otherwise deasserted
LOW.
•MODE 3—(Default) Asserted LOW for 20
milliseconds when a label is completed and
positioned. Not asserted during continuous printing.
•MODE 4—Asserted HIGH for 20 milliseconds when
a label is completed and positioned. Not asserted
during continuous printing.
12 MEDIA OUT Output Asserted LOW when there is no media in the printer.
13 RIBBON OUT Output Asserted LOW when there is no ribbon in the printer.
14 DATA READY Output See Applicator Signals onpage9 for more information
about this signal.
• Asserted LOW when sufficient data has been
received to begin processing the next label format.
• Deasserted HIGH when printing/processing stops
after the current label format, either due to a pause
condition or the absence of a label format.
15
RFID VOID Output • Asserted LOW when the RFID transponder over the
antenna is “voided.”
• Deasserted HIGH when the end print signal is
asserted.
