GPI/O B (J2)
Six unassigned inputs are designed to interface to open-collector outputs. These inputs require no
external pull-ups and blocking diodes allow the use of totem pole outputs from +4.5 to + 26 VDC. Optical
isolators are available to provide isolation. Two print control interface circuit examples are given below.
For direct inputs:
Use the printer’s +5VDC and Ground to supply the devices
interfacing to the GPI/O B inputs (as shown, right).

For electrically-isolated inputs:
To provide galvanic isolation for the GPI/O B inputs, remove
jumper JMP 11 then supply an external +5VDC source
voltage to Pin 1, and remove jumper JMP 10 then supply an
external Ground to Pin 6 (as shown, right).

Six unassigned outputs are programmable and slew-limited. Optional 10K ohm pull-up resistors, one for
each of the output lines, can be used at either +5 or +24 VDC via jumpers JMP 2 – 7.
 Note: To avoid damage if external pull-up resistors are used (that is, when Jumpers JMP 2 - 7 are not installed),
ensure that the external voltage does not exceed +30VDC.
The table below details the GPI/O B pin assignments, settings and functions:
