IGP Feature (PGL)
Configuration
Matching printer operational settings to those of the host computer is known
as “printer configuration.” The settings, or configuration parameters, such as
selecting the host interface, are adjusted according to the operator panel key
descriptions. Configure the IGP feature in the same way you would configure
the printer for other features.
You can select IGP default parameters directly from the operator panel as
explained in this chapter, or by control codes as explained in the
6400 IGP User’s Manual.
IGP Parameters
The IGP parameters are described in the following pages. Parameters
marked with an asterisk (*) indicate the default value. The printer must be off-
line to enter the configuration structure.
Enter and exit the IGP configuration menu according to the configuration
procedures in Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer.” Pressing an invalid key to
enter a parameter value may move you to another level in the configuration or
exit the configuration menu completely.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE you reconfigure the IGP, print a configuration sheet to see all
of the current settings. Refer to Chapter 3, “Configuring the Printer.”
Configure the IGP according to your specific requirements.
The IGP configuration menu is shown on the following page.
