Error Markers
Enable (factory default). Prints the following error markers for those elements that print beyond the
page boundaries:
>> for elements that begin off the right side of the page;
<< for elements that begin at the indicated position but end off the page;
for elements where the starting position of the command contains an error other than an
off-page error.
Offpage Errors
Disable (factory default). Does not report errors for elements that start or end beyond the right edge
of the page.
Enable. Reports errors for elements that start or end beyond the right edge of the page.
Barcode Errors
Enable (factory default). An error message will print when invalid barcode data is encountered.
Disable. VGL will not print an error for illegal barcode data; the barcode will be skipped.
NOTE: When the Barcode Errors option is disabled, the VGL emulation will try to make the best use of
invalid data by either truncating extra digits or adding zeros to the end of barcode data to meet
minimum data length requirements for some barcodes. Not all errors will be corrected.
Ignore / DB8 Setup
Following are several options which define character filtering and Data Bit 8.
Ignore Chars
Disable (factory default). Character filtering is not enabled.
Char 1. Character 1 will be filtered. Select the option "Ignore CH#1" to specify character 1.
Char 2. Character 2 will be filtered. Select the option "Ignore CH#2" to specify character 2.
Char 1 & 2. Characters 1 & 2 will be filtered. Select the options "Ignore CH#1" and "Ignore CH#2" to
specify values for these characters.
Ignore CH#1
Specifies character 1 for the character filtering option. Valid decimal values are from 0 through 255.
Ignore CH#2
Specifies character 2 for the character filtering option. Valid decimal values are from 0 through 255.
Data Bit 8
Enable (factory default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to printer; all 8 bits are used for
data bits, and characters in the hex 80-FF range can be accessed.
Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, Data Bit 8 internally indicates PI line status. To use the PI
line, disable Data Bit 8, and enable the Host PI configuration option (under the PI Control option,
below).
NOTE: Data Bit 8 is interpreted as either Data Bit 8 or PI signal, but never both. When enabled as Data
Bit 8, Data Bit 8 has priority over the PI signal, and all data above hex 7F is used to access
character data and not to interpret PI line data.
