1 Introduction

52 Product Description
The pause adapter PS7 is congured for communication between an external
signal generator and a printer to pause a print job via an external signal.
After deactivation of the pause signal the print job will be continued.
The adapter is connected to the printer via the SUB-D 9 external interface of
the printer.

5.3 Internal Circuit of the Inputs
The inputs XPSE and XFEH are designed for an operating voltage of 24 V.
For each signal X(input) exists a separate reverse line RX(input) at the
connector.
For that the following signal pairs result:
Pin 1 - XSTART
Pin 9 - RXSTART
Pin 2 - XFEH
Pin10 - RXFEH
Figure 4 Internal circuit of the inputs
5.4 Internal Circuit of the Outputs
For the outputs solid-state relays are used. The outputs have the common
reference potential RUEL (Pin 14).
Switching the outputs is realized by opening or closing a contact between
RUEL and the respective output.
Umax = 42 V Imax = 100 mA
