Functions
Print request (input) - Select the rising edge or falling edge of the product detection sensor. This set-
ting depends on which type of sensor is used and how it is set.
Usually, the sensor/ host is set in a way that the print will be made on the rising edge. Default setting
is High (rising edge).
Inhibit (input) - When the Inhibit input is active, the system will not print. When this input becomes
active during the printing process, it will finish the print first. This function can be used as a safety
feature on a host machine.
General Error (output) - When General Error is activated the printer has ended up in a state that it
can't print. This output tells the operator that an error has occurred which requires user attention.
An error can be caused due to a ribbon out, ribbon broken, print missed or mechanical/ electrical
failure.
Connect the error output on a optical device (i.e. lamp, buzzer, etc) or on the host machine. This will
stop the host machine when the printer reports an error. The output signal can be set to be active
high or active low.
Busy (output) - This output signal tells the host machine that the printer is busy printing and that the
substrate should not move. This signal can be leading (High) or falling (Low) edge synchronised. This
signal is active from the moment the thermal printhead is going down until it is going up again. So,
the period that the thermal printhead is in contact with the substrate.
Foil out (output) - When the foil reaches the end of the ribbon roll, the system stops and activated
the foil out output. Also the general error output will come up.
Ready (output) - The printer waits for a triggerpulse on PRINT REQUEST when this output is activa-
ted. This output becomes active when the following conditions are true:
• The system must be on,
• The system must be in Standby mode,
• General alarm must be inactive.
This output can be used to check that if the system is on, and ready to make a print.
