printer by selecting a horizontal resolution that matches that of the printer that
the file was originally generated for.

Although the range allows a selection of up to 400 dpi, the T5000 is capable
of printing up to 203 (T5204, T5206, T5208) and 300 (T5304, T5306, T5308)
dpi horizontal resolution.

The range is 60-400 dpi, and the factory default is 120 dpi.

Host Command

(From page 147, page 149, page 151, page 153, page 155.)

This menu item allows the user to select certain host commands to be ignored
by the printer.

The options are Enable, Ignore All, Ignore CPI, and Ignore LPI.

The factory default is Enable (all host commands accepted by the printer).

Host Form Length (PGL)

(From page 140.) Determines how the physical label size is affected upon
receiving an EXECUTE command.

•

Enable. The physical label length will change to match the form length
(defined in CREATE mode). The physical label size remains at the new
setting until another EXECUTE command is received, or the PRINTER
CONTROL menu settings are changed.

•

Var. Length. The form length is the longest element printed plus the
setting of “Var Form Adjust.”

•

Disable. Forms printed in EXECUTE mode do not change the physical
label size. Therefore, the size of the form (defined in CREATE mode)
must fit within the current label dimensions, or errors may occur.

NOTE: Changing the form length via the EXECUTE command changes the

LP+ Emulation logical dimensions.

The factory default is Enable.

Host Form Length (IPDS)

(From page 136.) Enables or disables changing the form length by the host.

•

Disable. The host is unable to change the form length.

•

Enable. The host may change the form length.

The factory default is Disable.

Host Form Length (VGL)

(From page 142.) Sets the printer page size.

•

Enable. Sets the printer label size equal to Label Length from the host
form length command. (For more information, refer to the IGP/VGL
Programmer’s Reference Manual.)
