Printer Interface (GPIO) Specifications
The Printer Electrical Signal Interface and Protocol is developed to coordinate the
printing of labels with an external process in a production workflow. Using this
protocol, the printer (Device A) receives a print job but will not print until it receives
a signal from an external device (Device B).
The following scenario illustrates how this could be used:
1. A box on a conveyor arrives at a workstation. A barcode is read and triggers a
message to a computer.
2. The computer sends a print job (probably with some variable data) to the printer.
3. The box reaches the next station on the conveyor and triggers a signal (e.g. by a
footswitch or automatically by a sensor). The printer starts printing when the
signal is received.
The electrical signal to initiate printing is received at the printer’s GPIO port. The
handshaking protocol is as follows:
• The printer signals it is ready to print by pulling up the Print Job Ready signal
from low to high.
NETWORK
List Network Print the network setup parameters which will fit neatly on a 4” x 4” label
(with inter‐label gap or continuous as specified in the EWS Diagnostics
page).
DHCP Setting

• Automatic: Set DHCP server to automatic.
• Manual: Disable DHCP server or allow user to set a static IP.
IP Settings
2
Enter the static IP settings for the printer.
• Static IP
• Subnet Mask
