EMULATION Menu
True Form Slew
This option is related to slewing within forms when using the PMODE
command. Customers with new applications are advised to keep this option
enabled.
•
Enable (factory default). Form length is accurate according to the form
length parameter in the CREATE command.
•
Disable . Form length is IGP-X00 compatible when using PMODE.
Printer PI Line
This option enables the IGP to send PI instructions to the printer to slew the
form.
•
Enable (factory default). Send the PI instructions to the printer
(LinePrinter Plus) during form slew. This is IGP-X00 compatible.
•
Disable . Do not send PI instructions to the printer. LFs are sent instead.
Print Quality
•
Data Processing (factory default). The emulation prints at 60 x 72 dpi
and lets you choose between normal alphanumerics and barcodes and
dark mode alphanumerics and barcodes. This mode should be set if you
want the highest speed.
•
High . The emulation prints at 120 x 72 dpi, but all alphanumerics and
barcodes are automatically printed in dark mode.
•
Best . The emulation prints at 120 x 144 dpi and dark mode, which
produces a higher resolution, better-looking print image.
Power-on S-Mode
This option instructs the PGL to behave similarly to older versions of the IGP
with respect to certain commands.
All new users with new applications should select “0,” the default option.
Selecting this mode insures the printer will behave as described in this
manual.
Power on S-Mode sets the printer in an SMODE compatibility state at power-
up. The default is 0 (disabled, no power-on mode). To use this feature, select
a mode from 1 through 5, which puts IGP/PGL in an SMODE state according
to the compatibility mode set. If the compatibility mode set is None, then MVP
is assumed by default.
For more information, see the IGP/PGL Programmer’s Reference Manual.
