General Purpose Input/Ouput (GPIO)

GPIO is both hardware and software. The hardware is

the actual IO board to

be mounted in the printer

,

and 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.

RS-422

An optional serial interface that enables the printer to operate with bit serial
devices that are compatible with an RS232 controller. The printer may be
ordered with an RS-422 serial interface installed or it can be installed by an
authorized service representative at a later date.
