Non-cab-Applicators
The Thermal Transfer Printers of the Hermes family are especially developed
for fully automatic labelling. Therefore all types of Hermes are equipped with a
peripheral port with a minimum configuration of signals. That way it is possible
to operate many different non-cab-applicators at the Hermes.

For the use of Hermes with a non-cab-applcator two input signals are needed :
1. "Print start"
Since the label will be dispensed from the liner directly after printing, it is
necessary to make sure, that the applicator is ready to take the label when
sending the signal "Print start".
2. "Label is taken"
This signal is needed to start the backfeed of the label material. After the
backfeed the print of the next label can be started from the front edge.
It is also necessary to activate this signal, if the parameter "Backfeed" in
the setup is set to "smart". Otherwise the next "Print start" signal will not be
accepted.
Beside the described input signals it is possible to get some status information
via the peripheral port.
The complete interface description is included in the appendix B.
