EMULATION Menu
Automatic Increment/Decrement Capability allows batch form processing.
Individual alphabetic, numeric, and barcode data fields can be identified and
automatically incremented or decremented by any amount, beginning from a
specified reference point.
Scaling Capability permits graphic elements, such as corners or boxes, to
retain their physical shapes and sizes when printed in a horizontal and vertical
density other than the base density of 60 x 72 dpi.
Multinational Character Sets provide many international character sets,
each 96 characters in length. This feature also allows you to create your own
character sets using characters defined and stored in memory.
Extended Character Sets provide 33 extended character sets, also
containing 96 characters in length. These are also stored in memory.
Configuring the Emulation with the Control Panel
You can select PGL default parameters directly from the control panel or by
control codes as explained in the
IGP/PGL Programmer's Reference Manual.
The PGL parameters are described on the following pages. Parameters
marked with an asterisk (*) indicate the default value. The printer must be
offline to enter the configuration structure.
Pressing an invalid key to enter a parameter value may move you to another
level in the configuration or exit the configuration menu completely. Configure
the IGP/PGL according to your specific requirements.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE you reconfigure the IGP/PGL, print a configuration sheet to see
all of the current settings.
