Chapter 4 EMULATION
Rotated Alphanumerics permit new concepts in form design. Normal, expanded, and compressed character strings can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, or they can be printed upside down.
Reversed Print permits highlighting and contrasting by printing white characters on a dark background.
Automatic Increment/Decrement Capability allows batch form processing. You can identify individual numeric and bar code data fields, which includes automatic increment or decrement functions.
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 32 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.
Configuring the Emulation with the Control Panel
You can select IGP/PGL default parameters directly from the control panel, or by control codes as explained in the IGP/PGL Programmer’s Reference Manual. The IGP/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.
