3.3.1 Optional Cutter Interface
The printer is fitted with a connector on the rear panel for the optional cutter interface. Use
this connector when a cutter is to be installed on the printer. To prevent damage to the
printer and/or cutter, connect the cutter when the printer power is off. The cutter type is set
by the user using the ^D115 command and will be reported on the Statistics Label.
3.3.2 LPD Sensor Input
A Label Present Detector connector port is provided on the right side panel of the printer to
operate the optional LPD sensor. The LPD sensor detects when media is present on the
output side of the printer, and is used in conjunction with the tag/tear and peel-n-dispense
commands. A potentiometer is labeled as “RANGE” and is used to adjust the detection
range of the sensor. The maximum detection range may be adjusted from 0.20” to 0.85”
measured from the surface of the sensor to the reflecting surface of the media. A red LED
is provided (located left of the port) as a visual reference indicating media detection. If
using either the ^D97 tag/tear or ^D98 peel-n-dispense commands, the printer will also
issue the >TAKE LABEL< response when an enquiry request is issued.
3.3.3 Sensor Inputs 1 and 2
The printer provides two (2) General Purpose reflective sensor input ports on the right side
panel of the printer. These optional sensors are typically used to sense the presence or
absence of label media or a full catch tray.
These inputs, labeled “INPUT 1” and “INPUT 2”, have a fixed recommended detection
distance of 0.50” measured from the surface of the sensor to the reflecting surface or media.
3.3.3.1 Sensor INPUT 1
Input 1 provides a visual reference (amber LED) when the sensor is “tripped.” The printer
issues an >INPUT 1< when an enquiry response (^E) is requested. The active state
(normal or inverted) of the Input 1 is determined by the software switch bank 3, location 2
(^D23 Command).
3.3.3.2 Sensor Input 2
Input 2 provides a visual reference (green LED) when the sensor is “tripped.” The printer
issues an >INPUT 2< when an enquiry response (^E) is requested. The active state
(normal or inverted) of the Input 2 is determined by the software switch bank 3, location 4
(^D23 Command).
