PRINTER CONTROL Submenus

xxx Diagnostics

This menu sets the error reporting capability of the printer for emulation XXX
(PGL, ZGL, TGL, IGL, STGL, DGL, MGL, IEGL, and VGL). XXX corresponds
to the selected option of the Active IGP Emul menu.

For PGL, the options are as follows:

On (default). Full error checking reported. Any element that falls off the
current page is reported as an error.

Debug Mode. Puts the printer in debug mode whenever a form is defined
in CREATE mode. Each line of the CREATE form will be printed along
with an error if one has occurred.

Fault. Allows you to halt the printer if a PGL error occurs. If you select this
option, the PGL error prints on the paper, the message “IGP/PGL Error”
displays on the front panel, and the printer goes offline. You must clear
the error before the printer can resume normal operation.

Host. Full error checking reported. Error messages are sent back to the
host through the port based on the menu “Ret. Status Port” instead of
being printed on paper.

Off. There is no error checking. Graphic elements such as alpha, line,
barcodes, etc., will be clipped if they are beyond the page boundaries.

For VGL, the options are as follows:

Enable All. Full error checking and report.

Disable (default). No error checking and report.

Error Msgs. Command syntax is checked and error messages printed
when command parameters are incorrect.

Error Markers. Prints the following error markers for those elements that
print beyond the page boundaries:

>> for elements that begin off the right side of the page.

<< for elements that begin at the indicated position but end off the page.

♦ for elements where the starting position of the command contains an
error other than an off-page error.

Offpage Errors. Reports errors for elements that start or end beyond the
right edge of the page.

Barcode Errors. An error message will print when invalid barcode data is
encountered.

For ZGL, TGL, IGL, STGL, DGL, and MGL, the options are as follows:

Disable (default). Full error checking and report.

Enable. No error checking and report.
