Page 15: Language
® Processing Language This manual describes the features and uses of the Code V Graphics Processing Language. Code V uses a Graphics Processing Language (GPL) that provides the user with total control over the printing and formatting of graphics images. This GPL is compatible with QMS 2 and includes the following features.
Page 16: Graphics Processing Language
Chapter Graphics Processing Language Graphics Processing Language The Graphics Processing Language (GPL) consists of a set of commands that are used to print graphics images such as block characters, barcodes, lines, and boxes, as well as provide formatting control for the correct placement of these images.
Page 17: Py Then
When Graphics Mode is on: • The control panel displays ONLINE GRAPHICS • All GPL commands and data are processed by Code V • Non-GPL data is passed to the current emulation. PY Then This control panel option defines the action taken on characters that are on the same line as the Graphics Mode On Command (^PY).
Page 18: Code V Command Character (Cvcc)
Chapter Code V Command Character (CVCC) Code V Command Character (CVCC) All GPL commands begin with a Command Character. By default, this character is an ASCII caret (^) having hexadecimal value of 5E. Changing The CVCC There are two ways to change the CVCC. Using ESC Sequences Using the ^N Command Change Sequence This method can only be done in Graphics Mode.
Page 19: Free Format
Turning Free Format On Free Format The GPL provides a mode which ignores all data with values less than 20 (decimal 32). Data having values below decimal 32 are collectively called Control Characters and include Line Feed, Form Feed, and Escape characters.
Page 20: Control Code Equivalents
Chapter Free Format Control Code Equivalents When Free Format is turned ON, GPL control code equivalents are treated as actual ASCII control codes. For example ^! functions in the same manner as the ASCII control code SOH. If control code characters need to be passed to the printer in Free Format Mode, use the control code equivalents shown in Table 1.
Page 21: Ignore Data
Control Code Equivalents ^: (caret colon) ^; (caret semicolon) ^< (caret left arrow) ^= (caret equal sign) ^> (caret right arrow) ^? (caret question mark) Ignore Data The Ignore Data command causes the printer to ignore all data (except for the command to turn Ignore Data OFF).
Page 22: Pass Spacing (Modplot)
Chapter Graphics Pass Not all GPL commands and data sent to the printer need to be in a pass. In fact, many commands must be outside of a pass to function properly. For instance, the command ^H sets the form length if it is used outside of a pass, but sets the pass height if it is used within a Pass.
Page 23: Pass Format
The Printer uses a Heap Buffer to process the pass for printing. If a Graphics Pass is so complex that processing it overflows the available Heap Buffer space, the Printer aborts processing and announces a Heap Overlfow fault. Pass Format A single Graphics Pass Command is formatted like this: Command ^ {M, U, V or E}hhwwjjd<data>^- Arguments ^ {M, U, V, or E} The braces, { }, indicate that either M, U, V, or E...
Page 24 Chapter Graphics Pass Vertical Left Orientation (^E) Prints data down the page and roated 90 degrees counterclockwise so that the baseline faces the right margin of the paper: The height of each individual barcode or block character. This dimension is measured vertically on the page and is specified in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25 cm).
Page 25: Gpl Commands
GPL Commands Most of the examples shown in this manual assume Graphics Mode and Free Format Mode are turned on, although the examples will not always show the ^PY and ^F commands. The complete set of commands to turn Graphics and Free Format Mode On, send GPL commands and data, then turn Free Format and Graphics Mode Off are shown below: ^PY^-...
Page 26 Chapter GPL Commands...
Page 27: Character Printing
Character Printing Control Panel Option A new option has been added to the control panel under the Graphics category. The new option, Vscale, determines whether or not vertical block characters will be scaled to match the difference between the horizontal and vertical print densities.
Page 28 Chapter Block Character When a block character is rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise on a page, the height and width values are exchanged: • the Graphics Pass height value determines the new character width. • the Graphics Pass width value determines the new character height. Command ^{M, U, V, or E}hhwwjjd<data>^- Arguments ^{M, U, V, or E} One of the four orientation commands ^M, ^U, ^V, or ^E.
Page 29 The following examples illustrate block character printing. Example 1: The Graphics Pass ^M0202000Graphics ^- prints: Horizontal orientation of character. Character height of 0.2 inches (0.51 cm). Character width of 0.2 inches (0.51 cm). Justified downward 0.00 inches. No additional dot rows of justification down. Graphics Data to be printed.
Page 30 Chapter Block Character Example 4: The Graphics Pass ^E0101000Vertical Left^_ prints: Example 5: The Graphics Pass ^M0202000GRAPHICS ^M0203053OPTION^- prints: • First Command - ^M0202000GRAPHICS GRAPHICS Data printed at 0.2 inches high and 0.2 inches • Second Command - ^M0203053OPTION^- OPTION Vertical left orientation of the pass.
Page 31 Example 6: To place OPTION directly under GRAPHICS, a pass terminator (^-^*) must be placed after the end of the first pass but before the beginning of the second pass: ^M0404000GRAPHICS^-^*M0404053OPTION^- will now print: Example 7: This example shows horizontal block characters with varying degrees of justification.
Page 32: Descender Mode
Chapter Descender Mode • Third Command - ^M0303020s • Fourth Command - ^M0303000s^- Descender Mode The Descender Mode is recognized only within a Graphics Pass (^M, ^V, ^E, or ^U has been previously sent). It can be toggled on and off as often as desired within a Graphics Pass, and it is terminated when the Graphics Pass terminates.
Page 33: Reverse Image
Reverse Image Reverse Image causes the printer to print white block characters on a black background. The black background extends beyond each character one dot row or column for every 0.1 inch increment of character window size. For example, a Reverse Image character window with a horizontal dimension of 03 (0.3 inches or 0.76 cm) and a vertical dimension of 04 (0.4 inches or 1.0 cm) will have the dark background extend three dot columns left and right of the character(s) and four dot rows on the top and bottom.
Page 34: Half-Tone
Chapter Half-Tone Example 2: Sending the Graphics Pass ^M0303000^R^Dfghij^R^D^- with Descender Mode ON prints: NOTE: The dark background of Reverse Image extends three dot rows below the descenders. Half-Tone Lines, boxes, and characters are printed in solid black, but they can also be printed in patterns of dots.
Page 35: Half-Tone Toggle
Half-Tone Toggle Once a half-tone pattern has been selected, it can be toggled ON and OFF within a Graphics Pass with the command: Command ^KH<data>^KH Example: The Graphics Pass ^M0303000GRA ^KL05PHI^KHSC OP^KHTIO^KHN^- prints: Data printed as solid black. Turns Half-Tone Mode ON. Selects the 05 half-tone pattern.
Page 36: Half-Dot Mode (Double Density)
Chapter Half-Dot Mode (Double Density) Half-Dot Mode (Double Density) The Half-Dot Mode causes the printer to print at 120 DPI horizontally (the standard print density is 60 DPI). Printing at 120 dpi results in darker printing and reduces the stairstep effect of diagonal lines. It is most often used to improve barcode readability.
Page 37: Block Character Fonts
• Second Graphics Pass - ^M0303040^KH^KFOPTION^KF^KH^- OPTION Block Character Fonts Block character fonts are created from the block character set in four graphic orientations, and are available in the following sizes: • 7.5 CPI block characters, 0.2 inches high. • 10 CPI block characters, 0.1 inch high.
Page 38: Cpi
Chapter Block Character Fonts 10 CPI The 10 CPI block character set is 0.1 inches high and is selected by using the following Graphics Pass Command. Command ^{M,U,V,E}0101jjd<data>^- Arguments ^{M,U,V,E} 0101 <data> Example 1: The Graphics Pass ^M0101000HORIZONTAL 10 CPI^- prints: Example 2: ^M0101000HORIZONTAL 10 CPI ^M0202000HORIZONTAL 5 CPI^- prints: One of four Graphics Pass orientations (^M for...
Page 39: 12 Cpi
12 CPI The 12 CPI character set is 0.1 inches high and is selected with the following special Graphics Pass command. Command ^{M,U,V,E}0001jjD<data>- Arguments ^{M,U,V,E} One of four Graphics Pass orientations (^M for horizontal, ^V for clockwise rotation, ^E for counterclockwise rotation, or ^U for upside down and reverse order of characters).
Page 40: Code V Font Selection
Chapter Code V Font Selection Code V Font Selection Since Code V runs on top of another emulation, the Code V Language has the ability to print either emulation fonts or Code V fonts. When Code V is turned on via the ^PY^- command, it sets the out of pass font to the 10 CPI Draft emulation font using the character set selected on the Control Panel.
Page 41: Compressed Fonts
The upper Code V character set contains the following characters not found in the Latin1 set: Compressed Fonts Code V has the following nine compressed fonts for use in normal printing outside of a Graphics Pass. • Near Letter Quality (NLQ) character sets at 10, 12, 13.3, 15, and 17.1 CPI.
Page 42: Nlq Fonts
Chapter NLQ Fonts Example 1: The command ^#6OCR-A characters^- prints: Example 2: The commands ^M0202000GRAPHICS PASS^-^*^#2^- COMPRESSED FONT^- prints: NLQ Fonts The NLQ fonts use 0.10 inch high Gothic characters whenever high quality print or high density is desired. NLQ fonts are limited to Horizontal Orientation only, and the NLQ Font command must be contained within a Graphics Pass.
Page 43: Default Font Selection
Example 2: The Graphics Pass ^M0000000^S1A line^T0100of text^- (10 CPI) prints: Default Font Selection This command allows selection of a default font that when issued inside a pass, selects the font used for the duration of that pass only. When used outside a pass, it selects the font used in all non-graphics printing.
Page 44: Draft Fonts
Chapter Draft Fonts Draft Fonts The draft fonts, when issued inside a pass, select the font used for the duration of that pass only. When used outside a pass, they select the font used in all non-graphics printing. Command ^@Cnn Arguments Font/Quality Speed Code V is capable of printing most of the Code V fonts at three different...

Half Space Font Mode Selects 60 DPI, fast speed, lowest quality fonts. The paper will not back up to print any GPL font (excluding OCR) when ^~FH is selected. Command ^~FH Lines Per Inch The number of character lines per inch may be set with the command: Command ^@Lnn Arguments Dump Mode...
Page 46: Control Panel Option
Chapter Control Panel Option Control Panel Option The following Control Panel option provides more control of speed and quality. Block Character This option allows you to set the size at which Block Character Smoothing begins. NOTE: Smoothing slows down the Code V processing. The default is size 3. ISO Character Sets Several international standard character sets may be selected with this command.

Page 49: Creating Lines And Graphics
Creating Lines And Graphics Line Drawing Code V allows printing of solid or dashed lines of various thicknesses and orientations. The following sections describe the line drawing commands and their usage. Solid Lines Description Solid lines can be printed horizontally and vertically ranging in width and length from one dot to 13.2 inches.
Page 50 Chapter Line Drawing Example 1: The command ^LS04000001^- prints a horizontal line exactly 4 inches (10.2 cm) long and 1 dot row thick. Example 2: The command ^LS0500011^- prints a horizontal line 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) long and 0.1 inches (0.25 cm) plus 1 dot row thick. Example 3: The command ^LS00020110^- prints a vertical line 2 dot columns wide and 1.1 inches (2.79 cm) high.
Page 51: Dashed Lines
Dashed Lines Description Dashed lines are drawn by printing alternate tenths of an inch (every 0.25 cm). The individual dashed marks will be oriented to the line’s strongest dimension (horizontal or vertical). If the horizontal and vertical lengths are equal, the dashes will be horizontal.
Page 52 Chapter Line Drawing Example 2: The command ^LD00100210^- prints a vertical dashed line 0.10 inch wide and 2.1 inches (5.3 cm) tall. 0010 0210 Example 3: Dashed lines will print horizontally if the horizontal and vertical dimensions are the same. The command ^LD01000100 will print a series of vertical stripes 0.1 inches (0.25 cm) wide across a space that is 1.0 inches (2.5 cm) square.
Page 53: Boxes
Boxes Description Boxes can be drawn in a variety of shapes, sizes, and line weights. Maximum box size is limited to the maximum printed pass length and the width of the paper being printed upon. NOTE: When printing boxes, the minimum box length must be greater than twice the thickness of the vertical borders.
Page 54 Chapter Boxes Example 2: The command ^LB0250010025^- prints the following: 0250 0100 Example 3: The command ^LB0010025046^- prints the following: 0010 0250 The Box command Line lengths for top and bottom borders of 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) with no additional dot columns. Line lengths for left and right borders of 1.0 inches (2.54 cm) with no additional dot rows.
Page 55: Form Drawing
Example 4: The Graphics Pass, ^M0202000^LB00900009011GRAPHICS^- prints the following box and characters: 0090 0090 GRAPHICS Data to be printed with each character is 0.2 inches Form Drawing Description The GPL Form command is used to draw boxes with vertical lines ineside.
Page 56 Chapter Form Drawing Example 1: The Graphics Pass ^LF03000150110050010100101003^G prints the following box and vertical lines. 0300 0150 Additional horizontal positioning of the first vertical line in dot columns, ranging from 0 to 9. Thickness of the first vertical line in dot columns, ranging from 1 to 9.
Page 57: Plot Mode
Plot Mode Description Plot Mode allows you to create and print your own graphics images. The Plot Mode command must be inside a Graphics Pass. Plot data is based on vertical columns of seven dots each. Each column is described by a hex byte that specifies which of the seven dots to print.
Page 58: Logos
Chapter Logos The X is drawn dot by dot as illustrated in Figure 2. Figure 2. Plot Mode Example Logos A set of predefined logos come with Code V. See Appendix C, “Logos” on page 271 for a table of logos. The first twelve are available in all four orientations;...
Page 59: Version 2 Logos
Version 2 logos The Version 2 logo command prints all logos. The logo command must occur within a Graphics Pass. Command ^ILOGO,d,nn^G Arguments ^ILOGO NOTE: If “d” is left out, density defaults are low. Example: The command ^M0202000^ILOGO,L,43^G^U0202000^ILOGO,L,43^G ^V0202000^ILOGO,L43^G^E0202000^ILOGO,L,43^G^- prints: Pixel Expansion The Pixel Expansion command expands logos, fonts, and plot data up to 255 times their original size.
Page 60 Chapter Pixel Expansion To enlarge the logo, send the Pixel Expansion code first, followed by the logo command. For example, ^M0101000^IPEXP,3,3^G^ILOGO,L45^G^- prints: Example 2: Sending the code ^M^IFONT,S,3^Gline of Text^- prints at the normal size: Whereas sending the code ^M^IFONT,S,3^G^IPEXP,4,3^GLine of Text^- prints:...
Page 61: Barcodes
Barcodes The CVCC provides the capability to print several standard barcode styles with or without accompanying human-readable characters. All barcode encoding algorithms reside in the printer. The user needs to only send the Barcode Command followed by the data to encode, and the printer will do the rest.
Page 62: Selecting Barcodes
Chapter Selecting Barcodes Code V supports Version 1 and Version 2 Barcode commands. Version 1 commands allow more flexibility in the placement of the human-readable text portion of a barcode. Version 2 commands have the advantage of including the name of the barcode style in the command. Either command must be contained within a valid Graphics Pass for it to be recognized by the printer.
Page 63: Barcode Version 1
Barcode Version 1 The Version 1 command for printing a barcode is: Command Default Ratio: ^{B,C}ax<data>^G Variable Ratio: ^{B,C}a9x<ratio><data>^G Arguments ^{B,C} B to print a horizontal barcode, or C to print a vertical barcode. One of the following characters: B, prints the OCR-B font three dots below the barcode.
Page 64: Barcode Version 2
Chapter Example 2: The Graphics Pass ^M0515000^CYD67890^G^- prints: ^M0515000 Turns ON the Graphics Pass Mode. Barcode height 67890 Barcode Version 2 The Version 2 command for printing a barcode is: Command Default Ratio: ^IBARC,x,a,<data>^G Variable Ratio: ^IBARC,x,R<ratio>,a,<data>^G Arguments ^IBARC <ratio> NOTE: Colons must be used for Version 2 to separate the ratio parameters.

Page 66 Chapter NOTE: We cannot guarantee tha barcode data with unique ratios other than those listed above will result in readable printer output. When using unique ratios, make sure that the wide and narrow bar ratios conform to requirements for readability. Example 1: The following command is the Version 2 equivalent of Example 1 in the Version 1 barcode section: ^M0515000^IBARC,C39,N,12345^G^- prints:...
Page 67 Example 3: Example 2 may be printed with the human-readable characters embedded in the barcode by replacing B with an E as shown below: ^M0505000^IBARC,C39,E,12345^G^- prints: ^M0505000 Sets up horizontal orientation and sets the barcode height to 0.5 inches. ^IBARC, Turns ON the Barcode Mode.
Page 68 Chapter Example 5: The Graphics Pass ^U0505^IBARC,EAN8,E,1234567^G^- prints: ^U0505 ^IBARC EAN8 1234567 Example 6: Barcodes may be printed in all four orientations. The following four Graphics Passes will print: 1. ^M0505000^IFONT,S,1^G^IBARC,C128,B,Horizontal^G 2. ^U0505000^T0250^IBARC,C128,B,Upside^G^-^* 3. ^E0505000^T0000^IBARC,C128,B,Vert Left^G 4. ^V0505000^T0250^IBARC,C128,B,Vert Right^G^- Causes the barcode to be upside down with a height of 0.5 inches.
Page 69 First Command: ^M0505000^IFONT,S,1^G^IBARC,C128,B,Horizontal^G ^M0505000 Causes barcode to print horizontally with a height of 0.5 inches. ^IFONT,S,1^G Selects Draft 10 CPI characters. ^IBARC,C128, Turns ON Barcode Mode and selects Code 128 barcode. Prints the character translation below the barcode. Horizontal Data to be encoded as Code 128 barcode and printed below the barcode as Draft 10 CPI characters.
Page 70: Dark/Light Bar Ratios
Chapter Fourth Command: ^V0505000^T0250^IBARC,C128,B,Vert Right^G^- ^V0505000 ^T0250 ^IBARC,C128, Vertical Right Dark/Light Bar Ratios The default widths of the light and dark bars that comprise each barcode style are determined by the ratios given in Table 3. These ratios are read in pairs, with the first number of the first pair being the width of the narrowest bar in dot columns, and the second number of the first pair being the width of the narrowest space in dot columns.
Page 71: High Density Barcode
Example 1: Barcodes can be expanded by doubling the ratio of the light/dark bars. Code 39, which is normally 1:1:3:3 can be printed double wide by sending the Version 2 Graphics Pass, ^M0505000^IBARC,C39,R2:2:6:6,E,12345^G^- prints: Example 2: Barcodes can also be expanded by replacing the ratio numbers in Table 3, page 65, with other values that are not exact multiples.
Page 72: Logmars Barcode
Chapter LOGMARS Barcode The LOGMARS barcode is a style used by the U.S. government. Although it was meant to print with the human-readable characters placed below the barcode (B), LOGMARS can also be used the with human-readable characters embedded in the barcode (E) or not selected (N). Example: The Graphics Pass, ^M1010^IFONTS,S,10^G^IBARC,LOGMAR,E,NEWMEX^G^- prints:...
Page 73 Example 1: The Graphics Pass ^M0505000^IFONT,S,10^IBARC,C128,E,ABCDE^G^- prints: Example 2: By adding the greater than symbol to the printable characters of Example 1, the Graphics Pass, ^M0505000^IFONT,S,10^IBARC,C128,E,>ABCDE^G^- prints a different barcode pattern, indicating that >A (decimal 65) now represents the control code SOH (decimal 1): NOTE: The human-readable characters did not print under the barcode as it did in Example 1, above.

Page 79: Postnet Barcodes
Accessing POSTNET in CVCC Postnet Barcodes POSTNET barcodes are now available to all Code V users. You can now print POSTNET barcodes on envelopes or any printer output desired. The United States Postal Service defines POSTNET Barcodes in USPS Publication #25, A Guide To Business Mail Preparation.
Page 80: Parameters In Postnet
Chapter Postnet Barcodes Parameters In POSTNET When used with POSTNET barcodes, some parameters function differently than when used with other barcodes. These parameters are as follows: ^IBARC,POSTNET,B,98032^ The Below (B) parameter adds human-readable characters below the barcode, but unlike other barcodes, does not reduce the height of POSTNET codes.
Page 81: Hibcc Barcode
HIBCC Barcode The HIBCC barcode style is used by the health industry. It is actually a Code 39 barcode with a check digit. If the human-readable text is printed, it is bracketed on either side by an asterisk. Lower-case letters cannot be used with the HIBCC barcodes.
Page 82 Chapter Postnet Barcodes...
Page 83: Positioning And Repeating
Positioning and Repeating Positioning Data This chapter discusses the formatting and positioning commands provided by Code V. Horizontal Tab The Horizontal Tab command allows the user to specify the current print position relative to the left margin. When issued outside a pass, it sets the default left margin for all subsequent Graphics Passes.
Page 84: Vertical Justification
Chapter Positioning Data Example 2: Since the tab command always specifies the print position relative to the left margin, it is possible to back up to previously printed positions within the line. For instance, the following example prints B before A even though A appears before B in the command sequence ^M0505^T0100A ^T0000B^-.
Page 85: Pass Height
Pass Height This function changes the height of block characters and barcodes within a Graphics Pass. Command ^Hxx Arguments Pass Height Command New window height in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25 cm) from 01 to 99. The actual height ranges from 0.1 to 9.9 inches (0.3 to 25.2 cm).
Page 86: Pass Width
Chapter Positioning Data Pass Width This function changes the width of block characters within a Graphics Box. Command ^Wxx Arguments Example: The Graphics Pass, ^M0404000GRA ^W02PHIC^- prints: PHIC Pass Density This function changes the density (dots per inch or DPI) of barcodes and block characters.
Page 87: Dot Slew
The vertical density in dots per inch. The allowable is from 040 to 240. Example 1: The Graphics Pass, ^M0404000^~D05005050x50 dpi^- prints: Example 2: The Graphics Pass, ^M0505000^~D070072^BYA1234567890^G^- prints: Example 3: The Graphics Pass, ^M0505000^~D060072^BYA1234567890^G^- prints: Dot Slew The Dot Slew command moves the paper up by a user-specified number of dot rows.
Page 88: Interrupt Function
Chapter Positioning Data Interrupt Function With the Interrupt function, a Graphics Pass may be interrupted at a designated vertical distance from the top of the pass to allow another Pass to begin printing at that location. The Interrupt command is not processed until a Pass Terminator is received.
Page 89: Repeating Data
Repeating Data The printed image defined by a sequence of Code V commands and data may be repeated horizontally and vertically through the use of Code V Repeat commands. This technique is often used to replicate labels, allowing the user to print numerous labels from a single command sequence.

Page 95 Incrementing or decrementing numbers and characters is similar to adding or subtracting numbers. Align the numers and/or letters vertically in columns and add or subtract each column. For example, K + 1 means to advance 1 character position from K to the next letter (i.e., K+1 = L and K-1 = J). The following examples show how automatic increments (addition) and decrements (subtraction) apply to numeric and character fields: (Operand)

Page 99: Buffered/Defined Forms
Buffered/Defined Forms Buffered Forms Code V allows users to store commands and data in printer memory. The data stored in memory may be named and called up for use any time. Data stored in memory this way is called a buffered form. The buffered form can consist of any data and commands sent to the printer.
Page 100: Buffered Form Create
Chapter Buffered Forms Buffered Form Create Buffered forms are created by the Buffered From Create Command. When a buffered form is created, it is stored in printer memory until it is deleted or the printer exits Graphics Mode. Every Version 2 Buffered Form has a name by which it is referenced.

Page 121: Industrial Graphics Application
Industrial Graphics Application Introduction This Industrial Graphics manual describes how to print several different types of barcodes and block characters using escape sequences and command functions. This chapter contains the following sections: Control Sequences This section describes the escape sequences used in entering and exiting the Barcode/Block Character mode, and how to select the various functions (i.e., Normal/Double Density, barcode styles, sizes of block characters, moving the cursor for justification, etc.).
Page 122: Control Sequences
Chapter Control Sequences Control Sequences This section describes the escape sequences for entering and exiting the Industrial Graphics Barcode/Block Character mode. The commands for accessing related functions, such as selecting Normal or Double Density Block Characters, vertical or horizontal orientation of barcodes, line height, and others are also discussed.
Page 123: Exiting Barcode/Block Character Mode
Exiting Barcode/Block Character Mode To exit the Barcode/Block Character Mode, send the following escape sequence: Command ESC {<41 (lower-case L) 1B 5B 3C 34 6C Control Sequence Formatting All Control Sequences in the Barcode/Block Character mode have the same basic format: Command ^Xaa;bb...NL Argument The Control Sequence Introducer...

Command ^M(height);(width)NL Argument (height) (width) NOTE: Odd numbers can be selected, but they will default to the next lower even number (5=>4, 7=>6, etc.). ^N - Select New Introducer Selects a new character as the control sequence introducer where: Command ^N(?)NL...
Page 127 ^S - Signed Cursor Move Moves the cursor relative to its current position in increments of fixed value. Command ^X(xsign);(ysign)NL Argument (xsign) The distance to move horizontally in increments of 0.01 inches. Positive values move the cursor right, and negative values move it left. Total distance must be in the range 0-1320 (default = 0).
Page 128 Chapter Control Sequences ^W - Set Barcode Density Sets the print densities and dot-making rules for Barcode printing thereby affecting print speed, symbol length, and readability through white:black and wide:narrow ratios. For typical applications, the default values produce fully readable Barcode; however, a range of settings is provided to accomodate softer papers or drier ribbons, and to optimize size or throughput for special applications.
Page 129: Home And Cursor
Home And Cursor The Home position and cursor pointers in this manual are similar in function to the Home and cursor pointers in a CRT terminal: • Upon entering the Barcode/Block Character Mode, the Home position is set to the extreme top-left dot in the current print line. This is considered the starting point for horizontal and vertical positioning.
Page 130: Barcodes
Chapter Barcodes Barcodes Barcodes can be printed either vertically or horizontally from 01 to 2.55 inches high. The Barcode styles can now be defined individually.

Page 149: Pgl Graphic Parameters
Smooth Parameter PGL Graphic Parameters This section explains the Graphic Category parameters that applies to the PGL Graphic Option on your printer. Smooth Parameter The Smooth Parameter affects the block characters in PGL. Smoothing causes the stair step appearance of larger block characters to be less pronounced.
Page 150: Vscale Parameter
Chapter PGL Graphic Parameters Vscale Parameter Due to the difference between horizontal and vertical DPI, as the size of block characters increase, there is a greater disparity between the physical size of horizontal and vertical output. This parameter allows you to print vertical block characters larger than size 3 at approximately the same scale as horizontal block characters.
Page 151: Pgl Command Set
PGL Command Set PGL Command Set Standards To use the PGL commands, follow a set of standards in constructing the commands you send to your printer. Special Function Control Character (SFCC) The SFCC identifies Special Function Commands that are used in NORMAL Mode and Execute Mode.
Page 152: Printable Data Delimiter
Chapter PGL Command Set Standards Printable Data Delimiter All printable data (excluding overlay data), alphanumeric characters, and barcode data must be enclosed by a printable data delimiter. This delimiter is always a printable character that the printer recognizes, telling it to print the data that follows until it encounters the same character again.
Page 153: Numeric Variables
• Amersand (&) (HEX 26) The SFCC can also be used as part of a form or logo name. Numeric Variables Some command parameters may include numeric variables. When it is required, an appropriate numeric value must be entered. In optional parameters where a numeric variable appears, the numeric variable needs to be included only if the option is selected.
Page 154: Data Types
Chapter PGL Command Set Standards Data Types There are four data types used in PGL: • Fixed (template/form description) • Overlay (interactive) • Dynamic (mailing lists) • Incremental (automatically updated information such as check numbers, order numbers, etc.). Double-Density Printing (DARK Parameter) The DARK parameter is available in the Alpha, Reverse, and Barcode commands to produce darker text, backgrounds, and barcodes.
Page 155: Pgl Modes
PGL Modes Four basic modes of operation for the PGL are available: NORMAL, LOGO, CREATE, and EXECUTE. NORMAL In NORMAL mode, the printer functions in line printer mode. The incoming data is scanned by the printer for SFCC commands. When the printer encounters a properly formatted SFCC Command it executes the specified command.

Page 205: Pgl Barcodes
PGL Barcodes PGL Barcodes (Used in CREATE Mode Only) PGL incorporates several barcode styles in its command set. Most barcodes use the same basic set of parameters. Barcode commands follow the same requirements as other PGL commands as far as how they are entered, ability to change orientation of printer output, adjust darkness of output, etc.
Page 206 Chapter PGL Barcodes (Used in CREATE Mode Only) Enter C3/9CD Specifies a Code 39 type bacode. CD is an optional parameter that instructs the printer to calculate and plot the optional Modulo-43 check digit. C128B Specifies a Code 128B Barcode. C128C Specifies a Code 128C Barcode.
Page 207 Magnification Value (X-Factor) Optional parameter that specifies a horizontal expansion amount (X-Factor) for the barcode output. When used this value causes an increase in the physical size of the barcode. Table 39 lists the expandable barcodes and allowable expansion factors. Table 39.
Page 208 Chapter PGL Barcodes (Used in CREATE Mode Only) BFn;L (Dynamic Barcode Data Field) Optional field that identifies location and the length of a dynamic Barcode field. To select this parameter: Enter BF followed by: to identify the barcode data that will be located at the coordinates specified by the SR and SC parameters.
Page 209 Optional parameter that manipulates printing of human readable characters when it is present. In UPC and EAN barcode this parameter is not necessary to print human-readable characters (human readable characters are the default condition for these barcodes). Enter: PDF NOTE: Do not use this parameter if a null data field is specified. LOC (Location of Human Readable Characters) Optional parameter that changes the location of the human readable characters.
Page 210 Chapter PGL Barcodes (Used in CREATE Mode Only) Command Parameters VS Barcode Types Figure 10 provides a listing of the Barcode Command Parameters which are used by each Barcode Type. NOTE: Since all Barcode Types use the BARCODE, Name, and STOP parameters they are not present in the figure.
Page 211: Data Field Characters
Data Field Characters All of the barcodes presented in this chapter use the numeric characters 0-9 (HEX 30-39). The only exceptions to this rule are the Code 39 Barcode and the Code 128B Barcode. The Code 39 and Code 128B barcodes will also print alpha characters and some symbols.
Page 212 Chapter PGL Barcodes (Used in CREATE Mode Only) Code 128B and 128C Data Field Characters The data field length for 128B and 128C Barcodes is variable. It is best to limit field length to no more than 32 characters to minimize the potential for scanning errors.
Page 213 Table 41. Code 128B Character Set Character HEX Value Character To access the codes in the greyscale area of the table you must send a SO (OE) character followed by the HEX value for the desired code. Code 128C character set includes Start B code (HEX 26). Codes EAN 8 and EAn 13 Data Fields The required field length for EAN 8 Barcodes is seven characters and the required field length for EAn 13 Barcodes is 12 characters.
