RFID Applicator Signals
Applicator Interface Connector Pin Configuration
11/14/2008 RFID Programming Guide 58978L-008 Rev. A
Applicator Interface Connector Pin Configuration
The Applicator Interface Assembly is available in two versions: a +5 V I/O and a
+24–28 V I/O. Table 12 lists the pin configurations and functions of the applicator interface
connector for both +5 V and +24–28 V operation.

No.
Signal Name Signal Type Description
1 I/O SIGNAL
GROUND
(+5V Return)
I/O Signal
Ground
Using jumper J5 (PAX4 print engines) or JP2 (Xi-series
printers), this pin can be configured as isolated or non-
isolated from the printer signal ground. See Jumper
Configurations and Pinouts for +5 V I/O Operation
on page 156 for more information.
1 I/O SIGNAL
GROUND
(+24-28V Return)
I/O Signal
Ground
No jumpers to configure.
Important • Customer must provide this external
ground. (This ground can come from pin 8 when
operating at 28V for all printers except the
110XiIIIPlus.) See Pinouts for +24-28 V I/O
Operation on page 157 for more information.
2+5V I/O
(Fused at 1 A)
Caution • Replace
the fuse only with
one of the same
type and rating.
Power Using jumper J4 (PAX4 print engines) or JP1 (Xi-series
printers), this pin can be configured as isolated or non-
isolated from the Applicator Interface Circuit +5 V
Supply. See Jumper Configurations and Pinouts for +5 V
I/O Operation on page 156 for more information.
2 +24-28V I/O Power No jumpers to configure. This +24-28V power source
also supplies voltage for output signal pull-up resistors.
Important • Customer must provide this external
power. (This power can come from pin 7 when
operating at 28V for all printers except the
110XiIIIPlus.) See Pinouts for +24-28 V I/O
Operation on page 157 for more information.
3 START PRINT Input • Pulse Mode—The label printing process begins on the
HIGH to LOW transition of this signal if a format is
ready. Deassert this signal HIGH to inhibit printing of
a new label.
• Level Mode—Assert LOW to enable the printer to
print if a label format is ready. When deasserted HIGH,
the printer completes the label that is printing then
stops and waits for this input to be reasserted LOW.
4 FEED Input When the printer is idle or has been paused, assert this
input LOW to trigger repeated feeding of blank labels.
Deassert HIGH to stop feeding blank labels and register
to the top of the next label.
