3.6.15.8 PRINTER_STATUS_OUTPUT_BIN_FULL
This message is used to report that the printer is reporting that its catch tray is full or that the
printer’s media is advanced blocking the LPD sensor while in a dispense mode. The LDS1
control language messages that generate this message would be the >TRAY FULL< and
>TAKE LABEL< messages.
3.6.15.9 PRINTER_STATUS_DOOR_OPEN
This message is generated when the printer detects that its printhead assembly is not fully
closed. Not all printers support this feature. The LDS1 control language message
equivalent would be the >HEAD UP< message.
3.6.15.10 PRINTER_STATUS_IO_ACTIVE
This message is used to indicate that the optional >INPUT 2< sensor is active. The >INPUT
2< message is the equivalent LDS1 control language printer message that is reported.
3.7 Cash Drawer Option
The printer provides a DB15 connector to support the use of 24v cash drawer applications.
The Draw Kick-out solenoid current must be 1 amp or less to avoid current overloads. This
option is only available when using the STL mode.

3.8 AUX Option
The AUX port provides the ability to connect an optional reflective sensor that may be
configured to send out a >INPUT 1< status message when the sensor is active high or
active low. This message may then be used by the kiosk system to alert the software for
different events. Early low stock detection or door open indications are a couple of
examples how the sensor has been used.
3.8.1 Low Paper Sensor
The low paper sensor is an optional reflective sensor available that may be used to detect
numerous scenarios. The typically application for this sensor is to detect paper or media
levels prior to the printer reporting out of stock errors. The operations range for the low
paper sensor as .25" to .75" with .5" being the optimal range.
