- Page 2 Follow the procedure to physically install the Applicator Interface board in the printer. Note: This procedure applies to both the PX4ie and PX6ie. For simplicity, the PX4ie is depicted in the illustrations. Turn off the power and disconnect the power cord.
- Page 3 Remove the eight #T10 Torx screws that hold the left-hand cover. Screw (8 places) Put the cover aside on a soft cloth or similar to avoid scratches. Warning: The electronics compartment contains high voltage components and wires. Do not open the electronics compartment before the printer is safely disconnect from any AC supply.
- Page 4 Remove the #T20 Torx screw fitted on the hexagonal spacer at the center of the CPU board. Keep the screw. If necessary, reconfigure the interface board by fitting or removing circuits and straps according to the descriptions of each board. 10.

Page 6: Serial Interface
Serial Interface This chapter describes how to modify the interface board for RS-232 non-isolated (standard), RS-422 isolated/full duplex, or RS-485 isolated/half duplex on the port and explains the configuration of the interface connector. Caution: When fitting driver circuit and straps before installing the interface board, make sure that the circuit is not fitted upside down (see front end markings in the illustration). - Page 7 RS-232 Connector Configuration RS-232 Socket as DB-9 Signal Meaning seen from the outside Socket External +5VDC max 500mA (automatic switch off at overload, short-circuit protected) Transmit data Receive data Data set ready Ground Data terminal ready Clear to send Request to send Not used RS-422 Connector Configuration RS-422 Socket as...

- Page 16 Setting Description DC 24V Switches REL2com and REL4com between REL2nc, REL2no, REL4nc and REL4no. Selecting Internal 24V will switch REL2nc and REL4nc to REL2com and REL4 com respectively. Selecting External 24V will switch REL2no and REL4no to REL2com and REL4com respectively. Note: Users are not restricted to connect DC 24V to these lines.

About Applicator Interface OUT Signals This section describes the Applicator OUT signals. Note: Unless described otherwise, all OUT signals are asserted low and de-asserted high.
- Page 18 Signal Description Ribbon out Asserted when the printer is out of ribbon. Activates an SHM RibbonOut event in the System Health Monitor (SHM). De-asserted when the same event is deactivated. RFIDTagError Asserted when an error related to the RFID tag is occurred during print job and voids the labels.
- Page 19 Fingerprint also includes a slave protocol, Honeywell Direct Protocol, which allows layouts and variable data to be downloaded from a host and combine into labels, tickets, and tags with a minimum of programming. Honeywell Direct Protocol also includes a versatile error handler and a flexible counter function.
- Page 20 PORTOUT Supports manually modifying the dataready signal. PORTOUT is not allowed when the applicator port style is set to S-Style. Note: This command is not supported by Direct Protocol. Example: • PORTOUT.DATAREADY ON • PORTOUT DATAREADY OFF Where ON asserts the dataready signal low and OFF de-asserts the dataready signal high.

- Page 22 Handling Internal System Errors For internal system errors, the system error signal status can be read at any time within the application so appropriate measures can be taken. When any of these errors occur, the appropriate out signal (including the error) is asserted: •...
- Page 23 Pause The applicator can toggle the current pause state by using the pause IN signals to simulate pressing Pause on the printer front panel. Startprint When the printfeed command is executed, the print process sets the dataready signal and then waits for the startprint signal to be detected before proceeding with the print job.
