General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) Port Applications
GPIO-equipped printers can interface with most external controlling devices. Operational
preferences can be stored for subsequent power-ups using the printer menu, or via Kc
commands. Functions and connections vary, as discussed below.

When a label is ready to print but awaiting a Start of Print signal, the prompt differs
slightly depending upon equipment:
• Non-Display Models – The STOP LED will flash.
• Display-Equipped Models – The display will indicate WAITING FOR SIGNAL.
Always wear a wrist strap and follow ESD prevention measures when handling the GPIO
or Applicator Interface Card. For specification information, reference the printer’s
Maintenance Manual.
