  • Page 19 Fingerprint also includes a slave protocol, Honeywell Direct Protocol, which allows layouts and variable data to be downloaded from a host and combined into labels, tickets, and tags with a minimum of programming. Honeywell Direct Protocol also includes a versatile error handler and a flexible counter function.
  • Page 20 Using External Applicator Signals The printer responds to external applicator port signals differently, depending on whether your application is using Fingerprint or Honeywell Direct Protocol. Fingerprint and Applicator Signals When you use Fingerprint, all in signals and the Data-ready out signal are handled by Fingerprint.
