GPIO CONTROL Menu
GPIO Start Print
NOTE: This menu appears only for thermal printers, and only if GPIO Tables
Start print logic.
•
Input Low. The default. Start print when input asserts low.
•
Input High. Start print when input asserts high.
GPIO End Print
NOTE: This menu appears only for thermal printers, and only if GPIO Tables
Mode selectable via the printer menu.
NOTE: End print applies only to printed labels. Output remains in normal
•
Mode 1. The default. Normally high. Low only when a label is being
moved forward.
•
Mode 2. Normally low; high only when a label is being moved forward.
•
Mode 3. Normally high; low for 50 milliseconds when a label has been
printed and positioned. Always high during continuous printing modes.
•
Mode 4. Normally low; high for 50 milliseconds when a label has been
printed and positioned. Always low during continuous printing modes.
•
Mode 5. Normally high. When the label has been printed completely, a
low going, 50 millisecond pulse is sent. (This mode shows the end of a
label print cycle, even in batch mode where labels are continuously being
printed.)
•
Mode 6. Identical to Mode 5, except normally low with a high going 50
millisecond pulse.
•
Mode 7. Normally high. At the beginning of a label being printed, the
output is set low. When the label is completed, the signal goes high. If
another label has started printing, the signal stays high for 50
milliseconds. (This mode shows start and end of a label print cycle, even
in batch mode where labels are continuously printed.)
•
Mode 8. Identical to Mode 7, except normally low with high going signal.
GPIO Ctrl Status
NOTE: This menu appears only for thermal printers, and only if GPIO Tables
Programmable via printer menu.
•
Data Ready. The default. Low when sufficient data has been received to
begin printing the next label. High whenever printing is stopped after the
current label due to any condition causing the printer to pause or in the
absence of a label format.
•
Offline. Low whenever the printer is offline. High whenever the printer is
able to receive command streams and print labels.
