Jumper Configurations and Pinouts for +5 V I/O Operation
Jumpers are used to produce isolated or non-isolated modes of operation for applicator input
and output control signals. RPAX4 printers use J4 and J5 while RXi printers user JP1 and JP2.
J4/JP1 configures the +5 V source for the optoisolator circuits, and J5/JP2 configures the
ground. For proper operation, when J4/JP1 is installed, J5/JP2 must be installed, and when
J4/JP1 is removed, J5/JP2 must be removed.

Pin 1
Ground +5V, Jumper J5/JP2 In
I/O ground is connected to the printer signal
ground.
I/O ground is connected to the printer signal
ground.
External Ground +5V, Jumper J5/JP2 Out
I/O ground is disconnected from the printer
signal ground. Ground must be provided
externally to this pin.
I/O ground is disconnected from the printer
signal ground. Ground must be provided

Pin 2
+5V Output, Jumper J4/JP1 In
+5 V I/O is connected to the applicator
interface circuit +5 V Supply.
+5 V I/O is connected to the applicator
interface circuit +5 V Supply.
External +5V Input, Jumper J4/JP1 Out
+5 V I/O is disconnected from the applicator
interface circuit +5 V Supply. The +5 V for the
applicator interface optoisolator circuits must be
provided externally. This input also supplies
voltage for output signal pull-up resistors.
