GPIO Enable Definition

A

Applicator

Enables the standard applicator mode, de-asserting DRDY

as soon as last label starts printing, allowing FEED any
time, and not de-asserting DRDY when PAUSED.

N

Disabled

Disables the GPIO Port.

V

Verifier

Enables the GPIO Port for a bar code verifier.

2

Applicator2

Enables the alternate applicator mode, where Data Ready

(DRDY) is extended to overlap the End Of Print (EOP) signal

by about 1 msec when printing the last label; and, where
PAUSE or FAULT de-asserts the DRDY signal and inhibits

the FEED operation.



(GM) Gap / Mark Value – This command sets threshold value for the media
sensor’s “gap” or “mark” parameter.


(GP) GPIO Error Pause – This command enables or disables the printer from
sending a service required fault to the GPIO output (Applicator Interface CCA, Type 2

only).
