System > GPIO
GPIO (General Purpose I/O) is both hardware and software. The hardware is the actual IO board mounted
in the printer, and the software is the GPIO Manager which is part
of PNE (PrintNet Enterprise). The GPIO
hardware is a printed circuit board containing optically
isolated inputs and outputs as well as relays. The
GPIO software is both a
printer resident GPIO event parser that executes GPIO Tables created by the GPIO
Manager. The GPIO table is used to control how the GPIO hardware behaves for a given application.
