IGP Configurations – PGL
Features
The PGL emulation is the software based Intelligent Graphics Processor (IGP)
for the line matrix family of Printronix printers. It is based upon, and is compatible
with, the Printronix IGP–100/200/400 board using the Printronix Graphics
Language (PGL). The IGP graphics processing features are detailed below.
On–Line Form and Label Generation makes it easy to create forms or labels
with a “preprinted” look for each application. IGP programs control all graphic
functions, dramatically reducing host computer programming and processing
time.
Graphic capabilities include boxes, vertical and horizontal lines with
user–selectable thickness, logos, and special alphanumeric print features. Forms
and graphic designs can be duplicated horizontally and vertically.
Alphanumeric data can appear as prepositioned “fixed” information (entered
when the form is created), be overlayed onto the form (positioned in a specific
location after the form is created), or may be dynamically merged with the form.
Selectable Bar Codes provide you with the appropriate bar code for your
application using standard wide–to–narrow ratios. A wide selection of bar codes
are available: Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC–A, UPC–E, MSI A through D,
Code 128 Subset A, B, and C, EAN/UCC–128, EAN, EAN 13, POSTNET,
POSTBAR, ROYAL MAIL, and PDF417. UPC and EAN bar codes can specify
add–on data.
Expanded and Compressed Character Print attract attention where needed.
Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently for a wide range of
character sizes up to 113 times the standard character size (up to 11.3 inches
wide and tall). Compressed print sizes of 12, 13, 15, 17, and 20 characters per
inch (cpi) are available.
