Appendix J – General Purpose Input Output Port Applications
The Start of Print Circuit depends upon the applicator system's requirements:
• For direct inputs –
Use the printer's +5VDC and Ground to supply
the devices interfacing to the GPIO inputs (as
shown, right).
• For isolated inputs –
Supply an external +5 VDC and ground,
remove JMP 7 and JMP 8 from the Applicator
Interface Card and follow the schematic shown
right.
The Auxiliary Port (J1) is an RS-232 interface. Serial data transfer settings (such as baud
rate, word length, and parity) can be made using <STX>KcSP commands. These settings
must match the device that you are connecting. Jumpers JMP 1 – JMP 4 should be in
installed.
