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.
Feed
When the Feed in signal is received, the application moves to a specified subrou-
tine that feeds labels until the Feed in signal is de-asserted.
Example:
• 10 ON PORTIN.FEED GOSUB 200
...
200 FORMFEED
210 RETURN
Pause
When the Pause in signal is received, the application moves to a specified subrou-
tine that finishes the current print job and then places the printer in pause mode.
Example:
• 10 ON PORTIN.PAUSE GOSUB 90
...
90 pause printer
Startprint
When the Startprint signal is received, the application moves to a specified subrou-
tine that starts the print job. The Startprint signal must be preceded by the
dataready signal as seen in this example.
Example:
• 10 PORTOUT.DATAREADY on
20 ON PORTIN.STARTPRINT GOSUB 60
...
60 my print routine
70 PRINTFEED
80 RETURN
