This emulation was developed for several German customers. So it is not a 100% complete emulation.
If your jobs are not 100% correct converted to PCL/PDF or printed on your PCL printer, then please send your captured data stream to
ELP offers those emulation settings: Configuration Tab - Rule assistant - check box Printronix VGL Emulation
| Horizontal scaling factor | Sometimes matrix printers have wider horizontal printing capabilities. It is recommended to set, if possible, the printer to A4 wide printing. And if it is still not enough you may scale it down until all fits on the paper. |
| Vertical scaling factor | Usually matrix paper is longer then A4. You may scale the PCL output down until all fits on the paper. |
| PCL Init-Sequences | The printer normally can help with the front panel to set the needed values. Like default page size, portrait, landscape, start-up font etc. Isn't it much saver to let this be defined by the emulation. Input can make use of the hex notation. |
| Edit | A nice select editor for the minimum recommended PCL Init-Sequences |
| PCL Sequences for page | Same as PCL init sequences, but sent after a form feed for next page initialisation |
| Edit | A nice select editor for the minimum recommended PCL Init-Sequences |
| Default font | Define what should be used as the default font, Courier 4099 or Letter Gothic 4102 |
| Default font style | This field defines the font style. Enter 0 for regular and a 3 for bold. |
Additional information:
-
The emulation needs to be turned on using the key PrintronixEmulation_VGL in one of those rules: GLOBAL, Printer name, User Name, Port name or Driver Name (default is GLOBAL)
-
All ELP comamnds keys for the VGL emulation start with PR_... There are more keys available, then the menu above provides. Also note that most of them are only shown in the ini file editor, when the rule/section PRINTRONIX is marked. Some of the keys can be used in any other rule as well. For example the scaling can be set later, in respect of the real printed form size.
-
There are more configuration commands available as configurable in the menu. To add them, set the cursor in the Configuration Tab in the PRINTRONIX section and click on Add key to rule.
