Jumper Position Function / Description
Installed Printer chassis is used.
1
Ground JMP 8
Removed Ground must be supplied.
Installed
P5VDC is used (.5 amp maximum)

Drawing more than .5 amps can result in unreliable printer operation.
2 +5 VDC
N/A
JMP 9
Removed +5VDC must be supplied.
3 SOP [2] Programmable [3]
4 Slew Label
Media is advanced until the signal goes HIGH and, if not in continuous mode, the
label is positioned at the next available TOF.
5
Toggle /
Pause
The printer pauses when the signal is taken LOW.
6 Reprint
Input
The last label is reprinted exactly, with no increment or time stamp changes;
recommended for use during error conditions. Keeping this signal LOW results in
non-stop printing.
7 +24 VDC P24 VDC (1.5 amp maximum)
8 Ground

Printer chassis.
9 Ribbon Low Programmable [1] . Signifies a RIBBON LOW DIAMETER warning condition.
10
Service
Required
Evoked by occurrences listed under ‘Fault Messages.’
[1]
Active LOW.
11 End Of Print Programmable [1] . Signifies the End of Print (EOP) process.
12 Media Out Evoked during an Out of Stock condition. Active LOW.
13 Ribbon Out Evoked during an Out of Ribbon condition. Active LOW.
14 Data Ready
Evoked when a label is waiting to be printed. Then after the printer receives the
SOP signal, printing will begin. For synchronization with the print cycle, the End Of
Print signal indicates the completion of the print process. Active LOW.
15 Option Fault
Output JMP 1
When inactive, outputs will be
pulled up to a voltage determined
by this jumper setting, where:

Pins 1 – 2 = +5VDC;

Pins 2 – 3 = +24VDC; or,

None = A common external
voltage (not to 30VDC)
via external pull-ups (providing a
20K ohm feedback path through
any two outputs).
Evoked during an RFID fault condition. Active LOW.
[1] Signal directions are given relative to the printer.
[2]
If active with no current print job, “WAITING FOR DATA” will be displayed. Specifying a quantity of 9999 while keeping this signal ON will cause non-stop label
printing, except in single label “Imaging Mode”, which will cause the printer to stop between labels.
