Unit 4: Printer Configuration
PGL EMULATION MODE (TABLE 4-10)
Determines how the physical label length is affected upon receiving an EXECUTE command.
• Enable - factory default. The physical label length will change to match the form length
specified in CREATE command. The physical label size remains at the new setting until
another EXECUTE command is received or the printer setup menu settings are changed.
• Var. Length - the physical label length is the longest print element plus the setting of Var
Form Adjust.
• Var Dynamic Len - the physical label length will change to the longest print element defined
in CREATE command plus the Var Form Adjust menu.
• Disable - forms printed with EXECUTE command do not change the physical label size.
Therefore, the size of the form must fit within the current label dimensions or errors may
occur.
This menu specifies an amount in tenth of inches, to add to the length of variable-length forms.
Variable length forms use a semi-colon at the end of the Create command: ~CREATE;
<FORMNAME>:0.
Determines the manner that form length is set. The physical form length can be set by command
or by selecting the final print position on a form.
• Add Nothing - factory default. No action is taken.
• Add; 0 - the form length ends at the longest printed element. The same as:
~CREATE;filename;0.
• Add; X - the form length is the same as the physical page length (the Label Length menu
under MEDIA SETUP). The same as: ~CREATE;filename;X.
This option selects bar code ratios for certain bar codes including Code 39 and Interleaved 2 of 5.
It is included for compatibility with the IGP-X00 printers.
• Disable - factory default. Use standard barcode ratios.
• Enable - select the alternative barcode ratios.
Allows for specification of the quantity of lines the backing paper will feed.
• 16 - factory default. A paper slew of 0 to 15 will move 1 to 16 lines.
• 15 - a paper slew of 1 to 15 will move 1 to 15 lines. A paper slew of 0 wil move 1 line.
This parameter determines if a carriage return will be followed by a line feed.
• Disable - factory default. Carriage returns not followed by line feeds are ignored.
• Enable - processs all carriage returns including those not followed by line feeds.
Skip Command Prefix. This parameter determines if the printer will print any data before a PGL
command is received.
• Enable - factory default. Will print.
• Disable - will not print.
Allows selection of whether the printer will ignore unformatted text. Example: With a simple text
field using a recognizable printer, the printer can either print this unformatted text or ignore it.
• Disable - factory default. Text in normal mode will be printed. Attributes to be printed depend
on the PGL Normal menu setting.
• Enable - any line of text (non-PGL commands) in normal mode will be ignored.
