Active Igp Emul; Host Interface - Printronix T5000 User Manual

The SPC will support the same models for Twinax as the Printronix
P5000 printer.
The printer emulations supported by the SPC are Twinax 5225 and Coax
3287. The SPC also provides a range of interfaces available in your
thermal printer: Centronics, serial, coax, and twinax. Also supported are
Epson, Proprinter XL, P-Series, Serial Matrix, VGL, and PGL emulations.
The SPC has the ability to handle multiple print jobs concurrently through
coax/twinax and parallel and serial interfaces. This is accomplished
through the Auto Switching feature (see "Auto Switching" on page 233).
Because of hardware restrictions, coax and twinax cannot be selected
together.
The factory default is Standard.

Active IGP Emul

This function allows the user to activate either the PGL or VGL emulation.
There are two methods for selecting the desired emulation. The first is by
selecting the emulation directly from the printer menu. The second is by
sending a host command which will switch the emulation automatically (see
the appropriate Programmer's Reference Manual for details).
When changing from one IGP emulation to the other, the printer will load the
saved configuration. Thus, any setting performed before selecting those
interfaces and not saved in NVRAM will be lost.
IMPORTANT
When the ACTIVE IGP EMUL is switched from one IGP emulation to
another, the printer will load the settings saved under the Power-Up
Config. menu. These settings may not be the current settings in use
prior to switching the Active IGP emulation. The Print Mode, Media
Sensor, Media Handling, Calibration, Label Length and Width and
numerous other settings in use will change to the settings saved under
the Power-Up Config. menu. Users should therefore insure that all
desired settings are saved as the printer Power-Up Config. menu
settings prior to switching the Active IGP emulation.
The options are IGP/PGL (the factory default) and IGP/VGL.

Host Interface

This option allows the user to send print jobs through any interface with auto-
switching selected as host interface. It also allows a particular interface from
the menu to be selected.
The options are Auto Switching, Centronics, Serial, IEEE 1284, Twinax,
Coax, and Ethernet.
NOTE: The Twinax and Coax options appear only if the CT emulation is

installed. The Ethernet option appears only if Ethernet is installed.
The Centronics and IEEE 1284 options do not appear if Ethernet is
installed.
