Applicator Interface Connector

An external DB-15 connector is present on the rear panel of the print engine for 
communication with the customer applicator. An optional DB-15 to DB-9 adapter cable 
(Zebra part number 49609) is available to accommodate existing DB-9 interfaces.

The print engine and the customer applicator communicate through a series of signals on the 
pins in the DB-15 connector. Each pin causes different things to happen when the signal is 
active (asserted) or not active (deasserted). 

 provides additional information about each pin and signal.

The following examples show how these applicator signals function in each applicator mode 
during the stages of printing a label. For more information about the applicator modes (which 
affect the end print signal), see
