Active LOW.
11 End Of Print
Programmable

. Signifies the End of Print
(EOP) process.
12 Media Out
Evoked during an Out of Stock condition. Active LOW.
13 Ribbon Out
Evoked during an Out of Ribbon condition. Active LOW.
14 Data Ready
Evoked when a label waits to be printed. After the Start of Print signal is received, printing begins. (For syncing with the print cycle, the End Of Print signal indicates print process completion.) Active LOW.
15 Option Fault
Output JMP 1
When inactive, outputs will be pulled up to a voltage determined by this jumper setting, where:
Pins 1 – 2 = +5VDC; 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).
Evoked during a Linear Scanner or RFID fault condition. Active LOW.

[1]
Signal directions are given relative to the printer.
[2]
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.

For setting details, see PRINTER OPTIONS / GPIO PORT.
[4]
Drawing more than .5 amps can cause unreliable printer operation.
WARNING: Failure to properly configure the GPIO Port jumper settings may result in damage to the printer and / or applicator.
