1 Encoder pulse input (printing direction signal).
2 GND (ground).
3 Not used.
4 +24 VDC (power supply).
5 Not used.
6 Encoder pulse input (timing signal).
Fig. 4 shows a view of the connector from the outside of the printer.
The printer is provided with a programmable encoder with an RJ12
5 m / 196.8 inch cable (Part No. P320437 ) and a separate shield lead by default. The encoder is pre -
programmed to generate 63779 pulses/rotation ; if the circumference of the roll is 250 mm , the en-
coder constant is 255116 pulses/meter .
Encoders of other types can also be applied.
Moreover, if one encoder is to support two printers, the encoder signal can be distributed with
an appropriate signal splitter.
NOTE: Shielding must be connected!
The separate shield lead that the above‑mentioned encoder is provided with must be connected to
one out of two connections 1t (see Fig. 2 on page 16 ) on the printer.
The encoder constant and an external source of timing pulses need to be set for correct operation of
the encoder. For more details see “7.1. General Settings” and “5.4.1. Project Parameters” .
An example of an application with two printers and an encoder signal splitter is shown in “2.3.5.
Labeling Euro-pallets” .
Ethernet connector
The Ethernet standard is used for linking the printer into an Ethernet network
or direct to a computer. Owing to that, the printer or a network of printers can
be controlled remotely.
Ethernet can also be used for transferring data that can
be printed using a Communications port ‑type object . The Ethernet con-
nector ( 1s ) is an RJ45 connector (see Fig. 5 ).

For the description of how to configure Ethernet see “7.4.1. Ethernet” .
The printer is designed to be connected to a computer via an Ethernet 5 me -
ter / 196.8 inch crossover cable (Part No. 2870005 ) by default. The cable is part of the installation
