Printronix Graphics Language Emulation
The Printronix Graphics Language (PGL) emulation provides a graphics language that is
compatible with the Printronix IGP 100/200/400 language. It is accessible from all underlying
control languages.
The emulation is based on IGP-100 Firmware Version 2.19A (Part Number 148771,) and the
Printronix IGP-100 Manual (Part Number 141331-001 Revision A.) In cases where the function of
the firmware differs from the manual, the emulation follows the function of the firmware. The
commands are defined in Manual Number 079697, Graphics Applications Manual, Line Printers.
