(5A fuse required) (Connect to both V+ pins to avoid overloading the connector) 0V Common (RS-232 signal return and power supply common) (Connect to both GND pins to avoid overloading the connector) Shutdown input (Active Low - see section 8.5 for further details) -
Page 9: Shutdown Input
8.5 SHUTDOWN INPUT The shutdown input (J3, pin 5) is designed to be used with an Active Low input such as the ignition connection in a vehicle. The user shutdown function is disabled as standard, the printer defaults to awake at power on. To allow the user shutdown feature, the position of the jumper at site JP4 must first be altered, following this applying a voltage of +2V to +36V on the shutdown pin will keep the printer awake otherwise the printer will enter the sleep state. -
