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.

When inactive, outputs will
be pulled up to a voltage
determined by this jumper
setting, where:
•
Pins 1 – 2 = +5VDC;
•
JMP 1
Pins 2 – 3 = +24VDC; or,
•
None = A common external
voltage (not to exceed
+30VDC) via external pull-
ups (providing a 20K ohm
feedback path through any
two outputs).
Printer chassis is used.
Ground must be supplied.
Printer +5VDC is used (.5 amp maximum)
Drawing more than .5 amps can cause unreliable printer operation.

The last label is reprinted exactly, with no increment or time stamp
changes; recommended for use during error conditions. Keeping this
signal LOW results in non-stop printing.
Printer +24 VDC (1.5 amp maximum)
Printer chassis.
Programmable
Evoked by occurrences listed under "Fault Messages."
Programmable
Evoked during an Out of Stock condition. Active LOW.
Evoked during an Out of Ribbon condition. Active LOW.
Evoked when a label is waiting to be printed. Then after the printer
receives the Start of Print signal, printing will begin. For synchronization
with the print cycle, the End Of Print signal indicates the completion of
the print process. Active LOW.
Evoked during a Linear Scanner or RFID fault condition. Active LOW.
