NOTE: The signals on pins 1, 3 4 and 6 each have an open
collector output. These pins normally measure
+.07V maximum when a true condition exists. If a
false condition occurs, the voltage will drop to 0V. To
achieve a signal level of +5V, you must add a 1K ohm,
¼ W pull-up resistor between the open collector out-
put pin and Vcc (pin 13) as illustrated. This will pro-

SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
Label Out - This pin goes low (0V) when a label out
error exists.
Signal Ground
Ribbon Out - This pin goes low when the ribbon is out.
Error - This pin goes low when the printer detects an
error condition such as head open or receiving buffer
full.
Print Start - The printer will print one label when this
pin is pulled to ground. This signal must be enabled
by placing switch DSW3-5 on the Control Panel in the
OFF position.
End Print - It is used to drive an applicator or other
external device requiring synchronization with the print
cycle. You may choose between four types of output
signals using control panel DSW3-6 and DSW3-7 sel-
ections.
Print Repeat - The printer repeatedly prints the current
label in the print buffer immediately after receiving this
signal.
DSW3-8 must be ON.
