Errors
APLEX4 communicates with EX4 printer using the I/O I/F on the following way:
- ISSUE signal is activated
- The printer starts to print and activates ISSUING signal
- When ISSUING is deactivated the printer has finished and ERROR signal is read
Note: sometimes it is needed to increase 'Post-Delay' parameter to max: 0,500 ms
If any error happens (end of ribbon/media):
APLEX4 will stop and RED light will be ON. Piston arm won't move and will keep on UP position
-

- Label/ribbon replacement

Errors on APLEX display
Different errors in the applicator are shown:
- MAIN PISTON ERROR: It occurs because the upper piston sensor is OFF when the piston has to
start to go down
- APPLICATOR ERROR: occurs when the lower sensor does not detect the piston contact (not turned
OFF), it may be because no air pressure to the piston to move and does not detect the end contact
- PERIMETRAL SECURITY: the security key is not connected on the CN2
- PRINTER ERROR: the printer is in any error situation
