asserted LOW for 200 milliseconds, or until the SERVICE
REQUIRED output (pin 10) changes state.
6 REPRINT Input
If the REPRINT feature is enabled – this input must be
asserted LOW to cause the printer to reprint the last label.
(See the Configuration and Calibration section.)
If the REPRINT feature is disabled – this Input is ignored.

RIBBON
LOW
Output
If the RIBBON LOW feature is enabled, and the amount of
ribbon remaining on the supply spool is below a specific
threshold level – this output will be asserted HIGH.
If the RIBBON LOW feature is disabled – this output lead is
disabled. (See the Configuration and Calibration section.)
10 SERVICE
REQUIRED
Output
While either the media cover is open, the printhead is open, the
ribbon is out, the media is out, the printer is paused, or an
operational fault has occurred, this output will be asserted LOW..
If the applicator RESYNCH mode is set to ERROR mode,
this signal will also assert LOW for a RESYNCH error.
11 END PRINT Output
MODE 0: The Applicator Port is OFF.
MODE 1: Asserted LOW only while the printer is moving
the label forward; otherwise deasserted HIGH
MODE 2: Asserted HIGH only while the printer is moving
the label forward; otherwise deasserted LOW.
MODE 3: (Default) Asserted LOW for 20 milliseconds when
a label has been completed and positioned. Not asserted
during continuous printing.
MODE 4: Asserted HIGH for 20 milliseconds when a label
has been completed and positioned. Not asserted during
continuous printing.
12 MEDIA OUT Output
Asserted LOW while there is no media in the printer.
13 RIBBON OUT Output
Asserted LOW while there is no ribbon in the printer.
14 DATA
READY
Output
Asserted LOW when sufficient data has been received to
begin printing the next label.
De-asserted HIGH whenever printing stops after the current
label, due to either a PAUSE condition or the absence of a
label format.
