8 Control signals for external units
The signals
FEED
and
READY
are used to control external units.
FEED (Output)
The
FEED
signal indicates that the labeler is dispensing. This means that the steppermotor is
turning. With this signal an external flatprinting unit can be controlled. See herefore figure 23.
READY (Input)
The signal
READY
is used to signal that a connected peripheral device like hotstamp or flat-
printer is ready. If the signal is active, this means the NPN-output of the device is pulled to
GND, labelling is not possible.
