Features IGP/PGL is the Intelligent Graphics Printing firmware for the Printronix Graphics Language, which is designed for the new Printronix PSA line of line-matrix, laser and thermal printers. The IGP/PGL provides on–line forms, bar codes, and many alphanumeric text–generation capabilities and is compatible with earlier versions of Printronix IGP protocol and programming. IGP/PGL graphics processing features are detailed below. NOTE: The ThermaLine Series printers are not floppy disk-based

Rotated Alphanumerics permit new concepts in form design. Normal, expanded, and compressed character strings can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, or they can be printed upside down. Logos are easily created using alphanumeric commands and add a variety of print and shading features for a “customized” appearance to forms, reports, and labels. You can define the format of the logo using TIFF files and PCX raster data as well as the standard IGP/PGL dots. Reversed Print permits

How the IGP/PGL Operates IGP/PGL is an emulation that allows you to print sophisticated graphics and bar codes. Depending on what the printer is doing, it is always in a particular mode, which is transparent to the user. These modes are discussed in more detail in Chapter 2. When the printer is receiving text or printing text, it is in Normal mode. Any time the printer is on and is not processing IGP/PGL commands, it is in Normal mode. When a Create Form command is issued, the printer moves from

Printer Operating Mode What It Means Printer receives data Normal Mode and prints text/graphics. Create Form Mode You send IGP commands to the printer. Printer prints the Execute Form Mode form designed in Create Form mode. Printer returns Normal Mode to Normal mode. Figure 1–1. IPG/PGL Modes 1–6 Introduction

Modes of Operation The IGP/PGL has six modes of operation that use specific command sequences to control the IGP/PGL. • In the Normal mode, the printer waits for a Special Function Control Code (SFCC) in order to perform IGP/PGL functions. • In Quiet mode all IGP/PGL commands are ignored. • In the Create Logo and Create Form modes, the printer produces graphics such as forms, logos, bar codes, and alphanumeric data. • The Execute mode is the IGP/PGL printing mode, which controls when the actual
