IGP/PGL Submenu

IGP/PGL Submenu

The IGP/PGL emulation is the software based Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP). It is based upon, and is compatible with, the Printronix IGP-100/200/400 board using the Printronix Graphics Language (PGL). The IGP/PGL graphics processing features are detailed below.

Features

On-Line Form and Label Generation makes it easy to create forms or labels with a “preprinted” look for each application. IGP/PGL programs control all graphic functions, dramatically reducing host computer programming and processing time.

Graphic capabilities include boxes, vertical and horizontal lines with user-selectable thickness, logos, and special alphanumeric print features. Forms and graphic designs can be duplicated horizontally and vertically.

Alphanumeric data can appear as prepositioned “fixed” information (entered when the form is created), be overlayed onto the form (positioned in a specific location after the form is created), or may be dynamically merged with the form.

Selectable Bar Codes provide you with the appropriate bar code for your application using standard wide-to-narrow ratios. A wide selection of bar codes are available: Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, Code 128 Subset A, B, and C, EAN 8, EAN 13, FIM, Interleaved 2 of 5, German I- 2/5, ITF-14, Matrix, MSI A through D, PDF417, POSTNET, PostBar, Royal Mail, UCC/EAN-128, UPC-A, UPC-E, and UPS 11. UPC and EAN bar codes can specify add-on data.

Expanded and Compressed Character Print attract attention where needed. Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently for a wide range of character sizes up to 139 times the standard character size (up to 11.3 inches wide and tall). Compressed print sizes of 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 and 20 characters per inch (cpi) are available.

Logos are created using alphanumeric commands and add many print and shading features for a “customized” appearance to forms, reports, and labels.
