Using External Applicator Signals

Fingerprint and Applicator Signals

42
The PA30 responds to external applicator port signals differently,
depending on whether your application is using Fingerprint or
Intermec Direct Protocol.
When you use Fingerprint, all in signals and the Dataready out
signal are handled by Fingerprint. Other out signals are handled
by firmware.

Feed

When the Feed in signal is received, the application moves to a
specified subroutine that feeds labels until the Feed in signal is
de-asserted.
Example
10 ON PORTIN.FEED GOSUB 200
...
200 FORMFEED
210 RETURN

Pause

When the Pause in signal is received, the application moves to a
specified subroutine that finishes the current print job and then
places the PA30 in pause mode.
Example
10 ON PORTIN.PAUSE GOSUB 90
...
90 pause printer

Startprint

When the Startprint signal is received, the application moves to a
specified subroutine that starts the print job. The Startprint
signal must be preceded by the dataready signal as seen in this
example.
Example
10 PORTOUT.DATAREADY on
20 ON PORTIN.STARTPRINT GOSUB 60
...
60 my print routine
70 PRINTFEED
80 RETURN
