IPDS over Ethernet

This option supports the IPDS language to allow a LAN connection and is only available with standard firmware
(excludes TN 5250 and Postscript/PDF). The printer may be ordered with this option enabled by an SPX key or
by an authorized service representative. The printer must have a 300 DPI printhead installed.

General Purpose Input/Ouput (GPIO)

GPIO is both hardware and software. The hardware is the actual IO board to be mounted in the printer
the software is the GPIO Manager which is part of PNE. The GPIO hardware is a printed circuit board
containing optically isolated inputs and outputs as well as relays. The GPIO software is both a printer
resident GPIO event parser and a PC-based GPIO manager that allows the user to define how the general
purpose IO hardware should behave for the given application.

Parallel (Centronics or IEEE-1284)

An optional parallel interface that enables the printer to operate in Centronics or IEEE-1284 mode. The
choice is made via the Host IO > Control > Parallel Choice menu.
