Timer Expired

This event happens when a user defined timer expires or when a user
defined time is reached. See “Timers” on page 254.

Table Entered

This event happens when a new mapping table is entered. The event can
be used to execute actions regarding new tables. For example, when you
want to check the content of a datafield and no other events are available.

Table Exited

This event generates before going to a new table. This event can also be
used to execute last minute actions. For instance, if we want to go from
table 1 to either table 2 or 3 and if a variable needs to be initialized, we
could use the table exited event. This way we only have to specify the
initial value once.

UCP Data In

This event generates when the data received on the Universal Control
Port (UCP) matches the data defined with the parameters of this event.
This event requires that the UCP port be enabled; a warning dialog will be
shown if this option is not enabled. This message displays only once for
each GPF editing session.

NOTE:

The events Datafield Changed, Timer Expired, Table Entered, and
Table Exited, and UPC Data In are only functional with the advanced
GPIO features enabled in the printer.

The Action field allows you to specify which action should be linked (or
