Compressed CPI
This parameter allows you to choose a compressed character (60% shorter) for 17 or 20 cpi instead of
the normal height character.

Light Font. Uses the standard compressed 17 or 20 cpi font.
•
Dark Font. Uses a darker compressed 17 or 20 cpi font compatible with the IGP-X00 printers.

menu.
•

Compatbl. Mode
This option instructs the PGL to behave similarly to older versions of the IGP with respect to certain
commands.
All new users with new applications should select the "None" option. Selecting this mode insures the
printer will behave as described in this manual.
When replacing an older product operating with an existing application, especially those using the
PMODE and SMODE commands, you may need to select a compatibility mode. In this case, select the
printer model number option that most closely matches the printer being replaced. The Compatibility
Mode options include:
•
None (factory default)
•
MVP
•
L150
•
P3000
•
P6000
•
P9000
Expanded Font
This option defines the type of expanded characters the PGL will select:
•
Scalable (factory default). These expanded characters have rounded edges.
•
Block. These are block characters compatible with the IGP-X00 printers.
•
Alt Block 1 / Alt Block 2. Reserved block sets used only for compatibility purposes.
Scalable Size
•
Normal (factory default). Controls the size of scalable characters to be either normal size (as set by
the user) or adjusted to match the size of block fonts.
•
Block. Adjusts the size of scalable characters to exactly match its block font alternative.
