GPIO Port (J2)
The GPIO Port is a 15-pin applicator interface and requires a DB15 male connector (e.g., Startech
C15PCM). The hardware and operational settings for this port must be configured for the device(s) being
connected to the printer.
• Control signal logic states are programmable via the PRINTER OPTIONS  GPIO menu
selections (see Section 4.2.4).
• Jumper settings select internally or externally powered interface circuitry; jumper settings also select
+5 or
+24 VDC signal output levels (see GPIO Interface Setup, below).
