Appendix J – General Purpose Input Output Ports
Class Series Programmer’s Manual 231
The GPIO Port allows convenient printer to applicator integration. Functions can be configured using the
menu system or via Kc commands. All configuration settings are saved in non-volatile memory.
Jumper settings are critical:
• Jumper settings allow internal or external power distribution to the applicator circuitry.
• Jumper settings allow + 5 or +24 VDC output signal levels.
WARNING
Failure to configure the card for the device(s) you are connecting may result in damage to the printer
and/or the applicator.
The table below details the GPIO Port functions, and configurable settings:

determined by this jumper
setting.

[1] Evoked by occurrences listed under ‘Fault Messages’ in the A-Class Operator’s Manual.
[2] Reprints the last label exactly, with no increment or time stamp changes; use it for error conditions. Always keeping this signal
LOW will result in non-stop printing.
[3] If active with no current print job, “WAITING FOR DATA” is displayed. Specifying a quantity of 9999 while always
keeping this signal ‘ON’ will cause non-stop label printing, except in single label mode (see Imaging Mode, Section 4.2.5 of
the A-Class Operator’s Manual), which will cause the printer to stop between labels.
