The G-Series printer’s serial port is of a cross-over 
1. 
null-modem configuration, which is the same pin-out 
arrangement as on the ZPL-based 28-series printers. 
For serial port users of EPL-based 28-series printers,  
an appropriate serial cable or adaptor can be  
sourced. The part numbers are G105950-054  
and 105850-026 respectively.
The GX420 and GX430 printers’ parallel port is of a 
2. 
DB-25 configuration. A switchbox-style parallel cable 
can be used. The part number is 105850-025.
Users of the external 10Base-T print server device on 
3. 
their 28-series printers are recommended to migrate to 
a G-Series printer with internal 10/100 Ethernet option.
To aid the setup of the G-Series printers, representative

power supply.

Unlike the 28-series thermal-transfer printers,  
1. 
the thermal-transfer G-Series printers do not have  
a lid-release catch.
The operation of the dispenser option’s peel sensor 
2. 
is controlled via command code (as opposed to via 
a switch on the 28-series printers). Legacy users 
can control the sensor via the appropriate EPL OP 
command or ZPL ^MMP command. Newer users 
might wish to adopt a SGD “media.printmode”  
method of control.
The GX420 and GX430 printers have a moveable sensor 
3. 
option available to them. This full-width reflective 
sensor can be moved across the whole width for use 
in detecting black-mark registration marks. The multi-
position transmissive sensor caters for centralised 
registration gaps, notches or die-cut holes and for the 
28-series printers’ right offset position.
  The peaked area on the lower media pathway 
4. 
corresponds to an upper array of sensors. The direct-
thermal printers have a three-peak design, whereas the 
thermal-transfer printers have a four-peak design. The 
range of transmissive-sensor movement is the same on 
both the direct-thermal and thermal-transfer printers.
