Applicator Interface Connector
An external DB-15 connector is present on the rear panel of the printer for communication
with a customer applicator. An optional DB-15 to DB-9 adapter cable is available to
accommodate existing DB-9 interfaces.
Applicator Signals
The printer communicates with a customer applicator through a series of signals on the pins in
the DB-15 connector. Each pin causes different things to happen when the signal is active
(asserted) or not active (deasserted). Applicator Interface Connector Pin Configuration
on page 170 provides additional information about each pin and signal.
