PGL Menu Operations

Introduction

The Printronix Graphics Language (PGL) option on your printer is designed to
be compatible with the Printronix Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP) - 100
Version 2.

On your printer some of the parameters you have to set for proper PGL
operations are located in Multi-Level menus that can be accessed through the
printer control panel.

PGL Menu Parameters

The PGL Graphic parameters can be accessed in the multi-level
Configuration Menu. The menu has three different combinations of available
parameters depending on the model of the printer. All of the available
parameters are represented with applicable graphic option.

See “PGL Graphic Parameters” on page 149.

NOTE:

Only those parameters that are applicable to the printer will appear in
the Configuration menu.
