Configuring IGP/PGL with the Control Panel

Matching certain printer operational settings to those of the host computer is known as ªprinter configuration.º The settings, or configuration parameters, such as selecting the host interface, are adjusted according to the printer function key descriptions in this manual. Configure IGP/PGL in the same way you would configure the printer for other features.

You can select IGP/PGL default parameters directly from the control panel as explained in this chapter.

The IGP/PGL parameters are described on the following pages. Parameters marked with an asterisk (*) indicate the default value. The printer must be off-line 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.

IMPORTANT

BEFORE you reconfigure IGP/PGL parameters, print a configuration sheet to see all of the current settings.

Configure the IGP/PGL according to your specific requirements. Please note that the Left Margin Sign option no longer exists in the IGP/PGL configuration menu. To establish a signed left margin and a top/bottom margin, access the option from the LP+ configuration menu.

The IGP/PGL sub-menu is shown on the following page.
