NOTE: The signals on pins 1, 3 4 and 6 each have an open collector output. These pins normally measure
+.07V maximum when a true condition exists. If a false condition occurs, the voltage will drop to 0V. To
achieve a signal level of +5V, you must add a 1K ohm, ¼ W pull-up resistor between the open collector
output pin and Vcc (pin 13) as illustrated. This will provide a signal level of +5V for a true condition and
0V when a false condition exists. The maximum voltage that can be applied to these pins is +50V and the
maximum current they can sink is 500 milliamps.
The Accessory (or EXT) connector on the M5900RV printer is intended for use with the
external printer accessories such as label rewinders or applicators. The 14 pin Centronics
type connector provides a choice of four different output signals along with various error
conditions.
