(IGP) software emulation designed for your Line Matrix printer. The 
IGP Code V emulation of the QMS

®

 

Code V Version II 

programming language produces online forms, barcodes, and 
alphanumeric text-generation. The graphics processing features 
are detailed below.

OnLine Form and Label Generation makes it easy to create 
forms or labels with the “preprinted” look for each application. VGL 
programs control all graphics functions, dramatically reducing host 
computer programming and processing time. Graphics capabilities 
include boxes, vertical and horizontal, solid and dashed lines with a 
variety of thickness, logos, and special alphanumeric print features.

Variable Barcodes allow the barcode for your application to print 
with standard or user-defined ratios in vertical or horizontal 
orientations. Available barcodes are Codabar, Code 39, Code 93, 
Code 128 with Subsets A, B, and C, and Code EAN/UCC 128, 
EAN 8, EAN 13, Interleaved 2 of 5, MSI, UPC-A, UPC-E, 
POSTNET, PostBar, Royal Mail, and UPC Shipping. POSTNET is 
available only in the horizontal direction. A dark print mode is 
included for darker, high-contrast barcodes. The IBARC barcode 
command prints barcodes in four orientations: horizontal, rotated 
90, rotated 180, or rotated 270 degrees.

Expanded and Compressed Print draws attention where needed. 
Alphanumeric height and width are controlled independently for a 
tremendous range of character sizes up to 9.9 inches wide and tall. 
Several compressed print sizes are available: 12, 13.33, 15, 17.65, 
and 20 (cpi), permitting up to 170 columns in an 8.5 inch printed 
area (20 cpi).

Rotated Alphanumerics permit new concepts in form design. 
Normal, expanded, and compressed character strings can be 
rotated 90 degrees clockwise, counterclockwise, or printed upside 
down.
