This option specifies the maximum print width to be used by the application.
The IGP/Auto Label Mapping
®
feature allows backward compatibility of
programs written for Printronix P5000 and P7000 and InfoPrint 6400 and
6500 line matrix printers using the Printronix PGL graphics language. It allows
the printer to print two-up (or other multi-up) labels. Instead of printing multiple
labels across the printer, it prints the leftmost label and the rightmost label, so
the printout will be twice as long but half as wide.
When enabled, the printer will automatically reposition the horizontally
adjacent labels to a vertically adjacent position, or a combination of horizontal
and vertical positions based on the values selected under the Auto Label
Width and Num Auto Labels menu items.
When disabled, excess data in any program sent to the printer with
horizontally adjacent labels that exceed the physical page width of the printer
will be clipped or wrapped depending upon the setting of the Autowrap menu
option.
The options are Disable (the factory default) and Enable.
Examples
All of the examples below assume that the logical form length is set to the
label length.
Example 1: Simple Case
Problem:
A file has been constructed with two horizontally adjacent 4” labels
for a printer with a physical width of 8”. The user now wants to use this file
with a printer that has a 4” physical width.
Solution:
The user sets Auto Label Width to 4” (the width of the label),
configures the Num Auto Labels to 2, and enables the Auto Label Mapping
feature.
Printer Operation:
The printer will print the first (leftmost) 4” label first. Once
the first label has been completed, the printer will print the second 4” label.
These labels will appear vertically adjacent on the form.
