True Form Slew
This option is related to slewing within forms when using the PMODE command. Customers with new
applications are advised to keep this option enabled.
Enable (factory default). Form length is accurate according to the form length parameter in the
CREATE command.
Disable. Form length is IGP-X00 compatible when using PMODE.
Printer PI Line
This option enables the IGP to send PI instructions to the printer to slew the form.
Enable (factory default). Send the PI instructions to the printer (LinePrinter Plus) during form slew.
This is IGP-X00 compatible.
Disable. Do not send PI instructions to the printer. LFs are sent instead.
Print Quality
Data Processing (factory default). The emulation prints at 60 x 72 dpi and lets you choose between
normal alphanumerics and barcodes and dark mode alphanumerics and barcodes. This mode should
be set if you want the highest speed.
High. The emulation prints at 120 x 72 dpi, but all alphanumerics and barcodes are automatically
printed in dark mode.
Best. The emulation prints at 120 x 144 dpi and dark mode, which produces a higher resolution,
better-looking print image.
Power-on S-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 "0," the default option. Selecting this mode insures the
printer will behave as described in this manual.
Power on S-Mode sets the printer in an SMODE compatibility state at power- up. The default is 0
(disabled, no power-on mode). To use this feature, select a mode from 1 through 5, which puts IGP/PGL
in an SMODE state according to the compatibility mode set. If the compatibility mode set is None, then
MVP is assumed by default.
For more information, see the IGP/PGL Programmer's Reference Manual.
Trunc Dyn Data
This submenu allows the user to truncate the dynamic data up to the maximum data length specified in
Create Mode.
Disable (factory default). If the dynamic data exceeds the maximum data length, an error will report.
Enable. If the dynamic data exceeds the maximum data length, the data truncates.
Error Report
Sets the error reporting capability for IGP/PGL forms.
On (factory default). Form boundary error checking reported. Any element which falls off the current
page is reported as an error.
Debug Mode. The printer is put in debug mode whenever a form is defined in Create Form mode.
Each line of the Create Form is printed along with an error if one occurred. This is the same
functionality as if there were a slash (/) entered before the Create Form Name.
