Active LOW.
11
End Of Print
Programmable
[1]
. Signifies the End of Print
(EOP) process.
12
Media Out
Evoked during an Out of Stock condition.
Active LOW.
13
Ribbon Out
Evoked during an Out of Ribbon condition.
Active LOW.
14
Data Ready
Evoked when a label waits to be printed. After
the Start of Print signal is received, printing
begins. (For syncing with the print cycle, the
End Of Print signal indicates print process
completion.) Active LOW.

Option Fault
Output
JMP 1
When inactive, outputs will
be pulled up to a voltage
determined by this jumper
setting, where:
Pins 1 – 2 = +5VDC;
Pins 2 – 3 = +24VDC; or,
None = A common
external voltage (not to
30VDC) via
external pull-ups
(providing a 20K ohm
feedback path through
any two outputs).
Evoked during a Linear Scanner or RFID fault
condition. Active LOW.

[1]
Signal directions are given relative to the printer.
[2]
If active with no current print job, “WAITING FOR DATA” will be displayed. Specifying a quantity of 9999 while keeping this signal ON will cause non-stop label printing, except in single label “Imaging Mode”, which will cause the printer to stop between labels.
[3]
For setting details, see
PRINTER OPTIONS / GPIO PORT.
[4]
Drawing more than .5 amps can cause unreliable printer operation.
WARNING:
Failure to properly configure the GPIO Port jumper settings may result in damage to the printer and / or applicator.
