Event to Action Mapping Buttons

The ON Flag

You can use the On flag to temporarily disable entries in the GPIO mapping
table. This is useful if an extensive mapping table is generated with many
events leading to the same action. The On flag allows you to test each event
reaction separately.

The Status Line

The status line displays information related to GPIO. The tabs marked

Table-1 and Table-2 allow selection of different event to action mappings.
With the advanced GPIO features enabled, it is possible to select up to 64
tables. With the advanced GPIO features disabled, only a single table is
available.

Figure 207. Viewing Status Line Information

The status line displays the date and time as well as the type of GPIO
features used in the table. The ‘A’ indicates that at least one advanced GPIO
feature is present. To run the mapping table in the printer the advanced GPIO
features need to be enabled by the security key. Tables using only basic
features do not require the security key to be loaded to the printer.

The series of zeros (or ones) are a reflection of the initial input and output
states defined during the GPIO configuration. The first set of eight zeros
represent the initial input opto-coupler state, the second set of eight zeros
represent the initial output opto-coupler state, and the last set of four zeros
represent the relays.

The Sub check box needs to be checked if a GPIO mapping table is to be
used as a subroutine. A table marked Sub will put the name of the table from
which the selection is done on the stack. This name is used when the “select
previous table” action is done to select the correct table to return to.
