The signal bits of the peripheral connector for e
x
ternal connections can be set with this command.
(The peripheral interface is standard on the Apollo -series printers and is available on A-series
printers if optional equipment, such as cutter etc. is attached )
This command controls the status of the output pins. The x command was added to take control over
peripheral device, which is usually other than the offered cab equipment. The four signal bits can be
set as follows:
Pin and bit assignments and usage on Apollo printers:
Pin
3
=
Control bit 0, set on when a label starts printing
Pin
11
=
Control bit 1, toggled when a new print job starts
Pin
4
=
Control bit 2, set on for error
Pin
12
=
Control bit 3, set on when label is in the peel-off position
Each of these bits can be set or reset for individual needs. The bit signals can be used to control
mechanical devices.
We highly recommend to use a cut and demand adapter to avoid any electrical damage when these
signals are used on Apollo or Hermes. The cut and demand adapter uses opto couplers to protect the
printer electronics.
To reset all of these bits, use ESC!ESC! (see ESC commands)
