Mapping

Preloaded Table

If a GPIO board is installed in the printer but no user defined mapping table

has been loaded, the printer will revert to a preloaded table.

Simple printer menus allow for programming three of the 11 (seven outputs,

four inputs) pre-defined interface signals to a particular polarity or logic

function that meets all typical print and apply requirements. They can also be

compatible with all the features available on other manufacturers’ external I/O

interfaces. This allows easy migration of Printronix T5000e or T5000r printers

to new or existing systems. Field interface is accomplished through an

industry standard 50-pin D type connector.
