Data Bit 8
Enable (default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to
printer; all 8 bits are used for data bits, and characters in the
hex 80-FF range can be accessed.
Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, Data Bit 8 internally
indicates PI line status. To use the PI line, disable Data Bit 8,
and enable the Host PI configuration option (under the PI
Control option, below).
NOTE: Data Bit 8 is interpreted as either Data Bit 8 or PI signal, but
never both. When enabled as Data Bit 8, Data Bit 8 has
priority over the PI signal, and all data above hex 7F is
used to access character data and not to interpret PI line
data.
Conversely, when Data Bit 8 is disabled and the PI signal is
used, Data Bit 8 of the data is reserved for use as the PI
function, and you cannot access characters in the hex 80-
FF range. Therefore, to access characters in the hex 80-FF
range, Data Bit 8 must be enabled.
Font Set
The Font Set specifies which language is currently selected for use
with the VGL. Refer to “IGP/VGL Font Set Menu” on page 165 for
available selections.
PI Control
Printer PI
Disable (default). The ASCII emulation is configured with the
PI line disabled.
Enable. The ASCII emulation is configured with the PI line
enabled.
