IGP/VGL Emulation

IGP/VGL Emulation
Code V Graphics language (VGL) is an Intelligent Graphics Printing
(IGP) software emulation designed for your Line Matrix printer. The
IGP Code V emulation of the QMS Code V Version II
programming language produces online forms, barcodes, and
alphanumeric text-generation. The graphics processing features
are detailed below.

Features

OnLine Form and Label Generation makes it easy to create
forms or labels with the "preprinted" look for each application. VGL
programs control all graphics functions, dramatically reducing host
computer programming and processing time. Graphics capabilities
include boxes, vertical and horizontal, solid and dashed lines with a
variety of thickness, logos, and special alphanumeric print features.
Variable Barcodes allow the barcode for your application to print
with standard or user-defined ratios in vertical or horizontal
orientations. Available barcodes are Codabar, Code 39, Code 93,
Code 128 with Subsets A, B, and C, and Code EAN/UCC 128,
EAN 8, EAN 13, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI, UPC-A, UPC-E,
POSTNET, PostBar, Royal Mail, and UPC Shipping. POSTNET is
available only in the horizontal direction. A dark print mode is
included for darker, high-contrast barcodes. The IBARC barcode
command prints barcodes in four orientations: horizontal, rotated
90, rotated 180, or rotated 270 degrees.
Expanded and Compressed Print draws attention where needed.
Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently for a
tremendous range of character sizes up to 9.9 inches wide and tall.
Several compressed print sizes are available: 12, 13.33, 15, 17.65,
and 20 (cpi), permitting up to 170 columns in an 8.5 inch printed
area (20 cpi).
Rotated Alphanumerics permit new concepts in form design.
Normal, expanded, and compressed character strings can be
rotated 90 degrees clockwise, counterclockwise, or printed upside
down.
