Page 49 This signal is also asserted when the Error on Pause option is enabled. Programming Applications for the printer The printer includes Honeywell Fingerprint, a programming language that resides on the printer. Fingerprint is an easy-to-use programming tool for label formatting and printer customization.
Page 50 Fingerprint also includes a slave protocol, Honeywell Direct Protocol, which allows layouts and variable data to be downloaded from a host and combined 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 51 Using External Applicator Signals The printer responds to external applicator port signals differently, depending on whether your application is using Fingerprint or Honeywell Direct Protocol. Fingerprint and Applicator Signals When you use Fingerprint, all in signals and the Data-ready out signal are handled by Fingerprint.
Page 52 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: • Printhead lifted PX45 and PX65 Accessory User Guide...

Page 61 CHAPTER INSTALLING ACCESSORIES Cutter Module The PX45 and PX65 printers can easily be fitted with an optional cutter, provided the printer is not already fitted with a label-taken sensor. The cutters are almost identical with exception for the width. The cutter unit is fitted by replacing the front door and the printer hinges, and is connected by a single cable to the DIN-connector on the printer’s front.
Page 62 Installation Follow the procedure to physically install the cutter. Note: This procedure applies to both the PX45 and PX65 Printers. For simplicity, the PX45 Printer is depicted in the illustrations. You will need a Torx screwdriver to install the cutter module.
Page 63 Fit the cutter unit to the vacant hinges. Make sure that the locking plate snaps into the groove of the right-hand hinge and that the angled plate at the bottom of the cutter is inserted under the printer’s bottom plate. PX45 and PX65 Accessory User Guide...
Page 64 (also see the User’s Guide). Then tilt up the cutter again and lock it in closed position. 12. Check that the printhead is lowered and switch on the power. Now the printer is ready for operation. PX45 and PX65 Accessory User Guide...
