IGP/PGL Submenu
The IGP/PGL emulation is the software based Intelligent Graphics
Processor (IGP). It is based upon, and is compatible with, the Printronix
IGP-100/200/400 board using the Printronix Graphics Language (PGL).
The IGP/PGL graphics processing features are detailed below.
Features
On-Line Form and Label Generation makes it easy to create forms or
labels with a “preprinted” look for each application. IGP/PGL programs
control all graphic functions, dramatically reducing host computer
programming and processing time.
Graphic capabilities include boxes, vertical and horizontal lines with
user-selectable thickness, logos, and special alphanumeric print
features. Forms and graphic designs can be duplicated horizontally and
vertically.
Alphanumeric data can appear as prepositioned “fixed” information
(entered when the form is created), be overlayed onto the form
(positioned in a specific location after the form is created), or may be
dynamically merged with the form.
Selectable Bar Codes provide you with the appropriate bar code for
your application using standard wide-to-narrow ratios. A wide selection
of bar codes are available: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128
Subset A, B, and C, EAN 8, EAN 13, FIM, Interleaved 2 of 5, German I-
2/5, ITF-14, Matrix, MSI A through D, PDF417, POSTNET, PostBar,
Royal Mail, UCC/EAN-128, UPC-A, UPC-E, and UPS 11. UPC and
EAN bar codes can specify add-on data.
Expanded and Compressed Character Print attract attention where
needed. Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently
for a wide range of character sizes up to 139 times the standard
character size (up to 11.3 inches wide and tall). Compressed print sizes
of 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 20 characters per inch (cpi) are available.
Logos are created using alphanumeric commands and add many print
and shading features for a “customized” appearance to forms, reports,
and labels.
