Configuring The VGL With The Control Panel
You can select VGL default parameters directly from the control panel, or by
control codes as explained in the
IGP/VGL Programmer’s Reference Manual
.
The VGL 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/VGL according to your specific requirements.
IMPORTANT
BEFORE you reconfigure the IGP/VGL, print a configuration sheet to see
all of the current settings.
