Signal
Description
Data Ready
Asserted when the printer is ready to receive a startprint
signal and execute the current print job. De-asserted
when the print cycle ends. Not supported by S-Style.
Endprint
Asserted during or after a print cycle. The endprint signal
also behaves differently depending on the applicator
port endprint mode. When the startprint signal is
received, the endprint signal may or may not be
asserted.
There are five options to choose from:
• Mode 0: Endprint signal is never asserted.
• Mode 1 (Z-Style)/Type 3 (S-Style): Asserted low during
print/feed cycle.
• Mode 2 (Z-Style)/Type 4 (S-Style): Asserted high during
print/feed cycle.
• Mode 3 (Z-Style)/Type 1 (S-Style): Asserted low for at least 20 ms
after print/feed cycle end.
• Mode 4 (Z-Style)/Type 2 (S-Style): Asserted high for at least 20
ms after print/feed cycle end.
Ribbon low
Asserted when the ribbon roll diameter drops below a
predefined level. De-asserted while the roll diameter
remains above the predefined level.
Media low
Asserted when the media roll diameter drops below a
predefined level. De-asserted while the media roll diameter
remains above the predefined level.
Media out
Asserted when the printer is out of media. Activates an
SHM PaperOut event in the System Health Monitor
(SHM). De-asserted when the same event is deactivated.
