Mapping

The connections made on the printer’s I/O connector are displayed in the
diagram below.

Figure 229. I/O Connections

Applicator Example

Imagine that a printer is connected to an applicator. When the printer has a
label ready for the applicator to handle, it signals this event by activating one
of the outputs. As soon as the applicator takes the label, the signal to the
applicator will be removed until the next label is present. This way a simple
interface connection between an applicator and printer is established. If any
printer error occurs, relay 1 will activate and result in additional action. Once
the problem is solved, placing the printer online clears the error report and
printing can start again.
