Skip Command Prefix

Chapter 4 IGP/PGL Emulation

Skip Command Prefix

This parameter determines if the printer will print any data before an IGP/PGL command is received.

•Enable. The printer ignores all data on the current line before an IGP/ PGL command.

•Disable. The printer will print all data on the current line before an IGP/ PGL command.

Power On IGP/PGL

You can set the IGP/PGL feature so that it is enabled or disabled when the printer is powered on.

•Enable. The IGP/PGL is enabled when the printer is powered on. (The IGP/PGL feature is initialized in the Normal mode.)

•Disable. The IGP/PGL is disabled when the printer is powered on. (The IGP/PGL feature is initialized to the Quiet mode.)

Extended Execute Copy

•Disable. Dynamic data, overlay data, etc. are not allowed if the optional Form Count parameter (number of forms to print) is specified as part of the Execute command. (This setting is IGP-100 compatible.)

•Enable. Dynamic data, overlay data, etc. are allowed within a form in which the Form Count parameter is specified in the Execute command. In this case, the exact same form (with identical dynamic data, etc.) is printed for whatever the Form Count is. However, incremental data is not incremented since the page that is printing is exactly the same. Also, each form is printed on a separate page.

UPC Descenders

This parameter allows you to print bar code descenders when human readable data is not presented in the UPC/EAN bar codes.

•Always. UPC/EAN bar codes are printed with descenders, even if there is no human readable data.

•Never. UPC/EAN bar codes are printed without descenders if there is no human readable data.

•Only with PDF. UPC/EAN bar codes are printed with descenders only when the PDF command is presented.

Compressed CPI

•Disable. The IGP/PGL does not compress characters.

•Enable. The IGP/PGL compresses characters (60% shorter) for 17 or 20 CPI fonts instead of using the normal height character.
