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)
Note: Drawing more than .5 amps can cause unreliable printer operation.
+5VDC must be supplied.

The last label is reprinted exactly, with no increment or time stamp changes;
recommended for use during error conditions. Always keeping this signal LOW results
in non-stop printing.

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.
Function / Description
. Signifies a RIBBON LOW DIAMETER warning condition.
