Power Supply Connector
This connector is used to connect the printer to an external power source.
NOTE:
Be sure to ground the frame ground (FG) screw on the board at the bottom of the unit. Ground wire terminal
hole diameter: 3.2 mm (.13"). Ground wire thickness: AWG 18 or equivalent.
Drawer Kick-Out Connector
A pulse specified by the
ESC p
command is output to the drawer kick-out connector. The host
can confirm the status of the input signal by using the
GS a
,
GS r
, or
DLE EOT
commands.
Drawer open/closed signal
The host computer can check the drawer open/closed status with the
DLE EOT
,
GS a
, and
GS r
commands.
