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.
