the printer. The printer will only respond to commands valid for the currently selected emulation. For more
information, please refer to the Integrator’s Guide.
Besides the popular printer languages to choose from, the following selections allow the VP420 to print
many other file formats directly, without the need for a driver.
AUTOIMAGE – selected when mixed PDF and POSTSCRIPT images are sent to the printer. The printer
will determine which type of file has been sent. This can increase printer response time.
PDF – When in this mode the printer will directly print Portable Document Files (PDF).
POSTSCRIPT – When in this mode the printer will directly print Postscript formatted files (.ps). You can
also use a generic Postscript driver to print when in this mode.
IMAGE – selected if just image files are being sent to the printer. When in this mode the printer will
directly print the following file types: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .pbm, .svg, .tiff
Default Font:
The VP420 has the ability to use True Type Fonts. All True Type Fonts loaded into printer memory are
listed here. When using emulations that do not specify the font for each line of text, select the font you
would like to use as the default font. All print jobs will use the default font unless a command is sent to
the printer to use another font.
Chars Per Inch and Default Text Line Spacing:
NOTE: These settings only function in Printek Emulation
This determines how large the characters are and how many characters will print in a one inch space.
The higher the number, the greater the number of lines per vertical inch of print.
C. Device Config
