Unit 3: Installation EXTERNAL SIGNAL The external signal interface is designed to connect the printer to an applicator. Proceed to the printer's Advanced Mode for various setup activities related to the external signal. There are two connector types available for the external signal interface, one with a 14-pin connector and the other with a 25-pin connector. Signal Level Issuing/Reissuing EXT signal Switching EXT signal Signal Types SPECIFICATIONS High: +2.4 to +5.0V, Low: +0.0 to +0.4V Enable/Disable in the Advanced Mode. Switching jumper connector to enable +24V output by 24V and 27V power supplies. When using 24V power supply: Short IN 24V side by jumper connector When using 27V power supply: Short IN 27V side by jumper connector. Type I Print end signal (PREND) is "low" before printing labels, "high" after completion of print, and "low" 20 miliseconds later. Type II Print end signal (PREND) is "high" before printing labels, "low" after completion of print, and "high" 20 miliseconds later. Type III Print end signal (PREND) is "low" before printing labels, "high" from start to end of print, and "low" upon completion of print. Type IV Print end signal (PREND) is "high" before printing labels, "low" from start to end of print, and "high" upon completion of print. 14-PIN CONNECTOR ASSIGNMENTS PIN SIGNAL NAME DIRECTION LEVEL MAX CURRENT 1 Paper End Output Low 2 Ground -- -- 3 Ribbon End Output High 4 Machine Error Output Low 5 Print Start (PRIN) Input Low 6 Print End (PREND) Output Low 7 Reprint (PRIN2) Input Low 8 EXT5V_IN Input 9 Online Output Low 10 Ribbon Near End Output Low 11 -- -- -- 12 +24V -- -- 13 +5V -- -- 14 FG -- -- Choose from Type I to Type IV for PREND (the output signal for Pin 6). 5V, 400mA -- 5V, 400mA 5V, 400mA High: high impedance, Low: -15mAor more, 0V 5V, 400mA High: high impedance, Low: -15mAor more, 0V 5V 5V, 400mA 5V, 400mA ----- GL408-412e Operator Manual 3-17 PN: 9001163A
