USI Board
Application notes
Utilization
The USI (Universal Signal Interface) is an optional interface for all machine
types listed in the headline of this page.
USI-equipped machines can for example control applicators or scanners.
The input signals can be used to trigger the print-dispense-process. The out-
put lines signal the operating status - e.g. material or ribbon end - so that the
machine can be integrated completely into a system.
The USI comes on a separate board and can be easily retrofitted.
Compatibility

DPM, PEM, PM 3000, ALX 92x: USI and AI (Applicator Interface) can not be
built into the same device.
