JMP 8
Installed
Printer chassis is used.
Removed
Ground must be supplied.
2
+5 VDC
JMP 9
Installed
Printer +5VDC is used (.5 amp maximum)
Drawing more than .5 amps can cause unreliable printer operation.
Removed
+5VDC must be supplied.

Pause
The printer pauses when the signal is taken LOW.
6
Reprint
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.

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 exceed
+30VDC) via external pull-
ups (providing a 20K ohm
feedback path through any
two outputs).
Programmable
[1]
. Signifies a RIBBON LOW DIAMETER warning.
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 Start of Print 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
Evoked during a Linear Scanner or 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.
