4.6 Accessory (EXT) Connector

The Accessory (or EXT) connector on the printer is intended for

use with the external printer accessories such as label rewinders

or applicators. The 14 pin Centronics type connector provides a

choice of four different output signals along with various error con-

ditions.

PIN Assignments

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,

PIN DIRECTION SIGNAL DESCRIPTION

1 To Host Label Out - This pin goes low (0V) when a “label out”

error exists.

2 Reference Signal Ground

4 To Host Error - This pin goes low when the printer detects an

error condition such as head open or receiving buffer

full.

5 To Printer 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 ON

position.

6 To Host 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

selections.

7 To Printer Print Repeat - The printer repeatedly prints the current

label in the print buffer immediately after receiving this

signal.

DSW3-8 must be ON.

10 To Host +12V - Used to power accessory items.

12 To Host +24V - Used to power accessory items.

13 To Host Vcc - +5V
