*	Output	Wait signal for dispense completion Outputs a low signal when the dispense is completed. You can set the pin number for output through the [Settings] > [Interface] > [External I/O] > [Signals] > [Outputs] menu.	Withstand voltage 50 V Sink current 50 mA
*	Output	Label Near End signal Outputs a high signal when the label near end is detected. You can set the pin number for output through the [Settings] > [Interface] > [External I/O] > [Signals] > [Outputs] menu.	Withstand voltage 50 V Sink current 50 mA

• You can set the external signal (EXT) type (TYPE1 to TYPE4) for Print Done output signal of pin No. 6. Refer to the [EXT Mode] screen of the [Settings] > [Interface] > [External I/O] > [Signals] menu for details. • You can set the pin number for input and output through the [Settings] > [Interface] > [External I/O] > [Signals] > [Inputs] and [Outputs] menu. • The Print Done signal of pin No. 6 is not outputted when 0 is specified in the number of cuts in the command specifying the number of cuts during the cutter operation.
