Pgl Text Printing - Printronix T2N series User Manual

PGL Text Printing

By default, the Active Emulation is set to Auto Switching which means that PGL, ZGL, and EGL
are actively looking at the host data for forms and relevant emulation commands. Pure text jobs
will not print. The data will be ignored by each emulation and presented to the next emulation for
processing.
Printing pure text applications is possible through PGL if the Active Emulation is set to PGL. In
this case, PGL will process all the host data and not share it with the other emulations. PGL will
also use the options in Advanced settings to determine how text (if any) is formatted.
Define CR Code
This option controls printer action when it receives a Carriage Return code (0D hex) from the host
computer. If this feature is enabled, an additional Line Feed code (0A hex) is inserted into the
data stream each time the printer receives a carriage return. Do not use this feature if the host
computer sends line feeds to the printer.

CR = CR (factory default). Does not insert an extra line feed after each carriage return.

CR = CR + LF. Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return. The next print
position will be print position 1 of the next line.
Define LF Code
This parameter forces the printer to insert an automatic Carriage Return code into the data
stream whenever a Line Feed code occurs. This can be used in most installations, but it is
required if the host computer does not send carriage returns to the printer.

LF = LF (factory default). Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print
position will be at the current print character position on the next line.

LF = CR + LF. Performs an automatic carriage return. The next print position will be print
position 1 of the next line.
CR Edit
This parameter determines if a carriage return will be followed by a line feed.

Disable (factory default). The printer ignores all carriage returns that are not followed by
line feeds.

Enable. The printer processes all carriage returns, even for those that are not followed by
line feeds.
Select LPI
This is the number of lines to be printed per inch. For example, at 6 LPI there is 1/6 inch from the
top of one print line to the top of the next print line.
The options are 1 to 1000 LPI. The factory default is 6.0 LPI.
