S-Style A D Shaped SCSI 14Pin connector.
Z-Style Port Z-Style Port Pinouts Pin Signal Type Description 1 Signal ground Ground configurable for internal or external source 2 +5VDC Power Voltage supply for external sensors. Configurable for internal or external source. 3 Start print Input Pulse Mode - prints one and only one label whenever this pin is pulled to ground. Signal must be de-asserted and reasserted to print another label. • Printing starts on HIGH to LOW transition if format is ready.
Pin Signal Type Description 4 Feed Input Assert LOW to feed label stock. De-assert HIGH to stop feeding labels. 5 Pause Input Assert LOW for 200ms and then de-assert HIGH to toggle between pause and un-pause states. 6 Reprint Input Reprint mode is enabled in software. When this mode in enabled, assert LOW to reprint last label.

Configuring Applicator Port Settings The applicator interface supports three different applicator modes: • Z-Style Port • S-Style Port • I-Style Port. This mode combines Z-Style or S-Style settings with the ability to trigger external I/O systems via the External Error port. You can configure applicator port settings from the web browser interface or in Setup Mode. Web Browser Interface 1. From the menu, click System Settings > Manage I/O. The configuration screen appears. 2.
Setting Description DC 24V Configures the printer to use either its internal power supply or an external supply (connected to the External Power port) to provide +24VDC to the Z-Style and SStyle ports. 5. Click Save. The settings are saved. Setup Mode Use the printer touch screen to view and change settings. 1. Press Menu > Settings > System Settings > Manage I/O. 2. Choose Enable from the drop-down list for the applicator. 3. From the menu, select Menu > Settings > Printing > Applicator.
Signal Description 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.
This section includes basic information for each of these commands. For more information, see the Fingerprint Command reference manual. ON PORTIN This command allows a Fingerprint application to detect in signals. If a particular in signal is asserted, the application moves to the subroutine responsible for carrying out tasks related to that in signal. One command is available for detection of each of the 8 in signals. Note: This command is not supported by Honeywell Direct Protocol. Example: • ON PORTIN.
Example: • ON PORTOUT.RESET GOSUB nnn Using External Applicator Signals The printer responds to external applicator port signals differently, depending on whether your application is using Fingerprint or Honeywell Direct Protocol. Fingerprint and Applicator Signals When you use Fingerprint, all in signals and the Data-ready out signal are handled by Fingerprint. Other out signals are handled by firmware.
Reprint When the Reprint signal is received, the application moves to a specified subroutine that reprints the last valid label. Example: • ... 100 ON PORTIN.REPRINT GOSUB 150 ... 150 PRINTFEED -1,1 160 RETURN Printfeed The dataready signal must be set manually by the Fingerprint application before a printfeed is issued when using with an applicator.
Resetting Out Signals Out signals are reset to their default values when certain options are changed by using the SETUP menu. When the reset is detected, the application moves to a specified subroutine and performs the tasks necessary to reinitialize the print engine. Example: • 10 ON PORTOUT.RESET GOSUB 150 ... 150 perform initialization 160 RETURN Direct Protocol and Applicator Signals In Direct Protocol, all in and out signals are handled by the Direct Protocol firmware.
• when the printer is waiting for a startprint signal during the execution of a printfeed command. The printer prints only one label at a time. Handling External Applicator Errors The external applicator error in signals (APPERR1, APPERR2, APPERR3, RTWINEXT) should be asserted when external applicator errors occur. When one of these signals is detected, an associated event is activated in the System Health Monitor (SHM).
Cause: Error Number: Running the PORTOUT.DATAREADY ON|OFF or PORTIN. GOSUB XXX commands when the printer is using Direct Protocol. 90 EAPPERR1 Message: Cause: Result: Error Number: Applicator Error 1. AppErr1 in signal detected. Activates event in System Health Monitor (SHM). 1340 EAPPERR2 Message: Cause: Result: Applicator Error 2. Error Number: 1341 AppErr2 in signal detected. Activates event in System Health Monitor (SHM).
Message: Cause: Message: Cause: 48 APPLICATOR PORT: Wait for signal. Running a PRINTFEED command blocks execution until a startprint signal is received. The message appears when execution has been blocked for a few seconds. APPLICATOR PORT: Wait for reprint. Running a PRINTFEED -1,1 command blocks execution until a reprint signal is received. The message appears when execution has been blocked for a few seconds.
