The behavior of the Inputs depends on the Print Mode selected:
INPUT
MODE DISABLED
(User codes)
MODE 1
(BCD Std)
MODE 2
(BCD + Inverted)
INPUT 0 (IN0)
START
: when there is a
trigger, it puts the device in
print mode.
BCD 0:
Bit 0 of the
BCD code.
BCD 0:
Bit 0 of the BCD
code.
INPUT 1 (IN1)
STOP:
when there is a
trigger, it puts the device in
pause.
BCD 1:
Bit 1 of the
BCD code.
BCD 1:
Bit 1 of the BCD
code.
INPUT 2 (IN2)
Reset User Counter:
when
there is a trigger, it resets the
user counter.
BCD 2:
Bit 2 of the
BCD code.
BCD 2:
Bit 2 of the BCD
code.
INPUT 3 (IN3)
Reset print direction:
when
there is a trigger, it activates
the
direction
as
configured.
BCD 3:
Bit 3 of the
BCD code.
BCD3 or Reset print
direction:
Depending on
the configuration of the
Strobe signal, this bit is
used as BCD3 or Reset
print direction. See note
below.
INPUT 4 (IN4)
Invert print direction:
When there is a trigger, it
inverts the print direction.
STROBE:
BCD code
validation strobe.
Invert:
BCD
code
validation
strobe and invert
the print
direction.
NOTE
: In MODE 2, the INPUT 3 is used as BCD3 if Strobe signal is configured as Edge or as
Reset print direction if strobe signal is configured as State.
