Chapter 4 EMULATION Menu
C39 Compatbl.
This menu makes the old method of decoding C39 alternative character set
compatible with the new.
• Disable (factory default) Uses the current way of decoding.
• Enable . Matches the old method of decoding.
Host Form Length
Determines whether the form length specified in the CREATE command
changes the form length designated in the LP+ menu (see “LinePrinter Plus
Emulation (ASCII, Indian Language)” on page 124) when the form is printed
by the EXECUTE command.
• Disable (factory default). The LP+ form length is unaffected by the form
being printed.
• Enable . The LP+ form length changes to match the length of the PGL
form being printed.
Var Form Adjust
(Ranges from 0 - 30) . Default is 0. This menu value is tenths of inches. The
value of this menu specifies the amount of distance to add to PGL forms that
have variable form lengths. Variable length forms are forms that are defined
by using a “;0” in the CREATE statement: ~CREATE;FORM;0. Variable form
lengths are defined by the contents within the form - the form is only as long
as necessary to print the form. Changing this menu value adds additional
lengths to the form (in tenths of inches). Again, this only applies to forms that
use the “;0” variable length forms.
Var Form Type
This menu option applies only to the host command, CREATE;NAME or
CREATE;NAME;DISK. The host command CREATE;NAME followed by ;0, ;X
or a form length number will always override the menu option.
• Add Nothing (factory default). No action.
• Add; 0 . When selected, the form length ends at the longest printed
element. Same as CREATE;NAME;0.
• Add; X . When selected, the form length is the same as the physical page
length.
Compressed CPI
This parameter allows you to choose a compressed character (60% shorter)
for 17 or 20 cpi instead of the normal height character.
• Disable (factory default). The PGL does not use compressed 17 or 20 cpi
font.
• Light Font . Uses the standard compressed 17 or 20 cpi font.
• Dark Font . Uses a darker compressed 17 or 20 cpi font compatible with
the IGP-X00 printers.
