15 1 QMS ® Code V ™ Graphics Pr ocessing Language This manu al descr ibes the fe atures and u ses of the Code V Gra phics Process ing Langua ge. Code V us es a Graph ics Proc essing Lang uage (GPL) that prov ides the us er with total control ov er the prin ting and fo rmatting of graphic s images.
16 Chapter 1 Graphics Proce ssing Language Graphics Processing Language The Grap hics Proc essing La nguage (GP L) consis ts of a set o f command s that are u sed to prin t graphic s image s such as block charac ters, bar codes, lines, a nd boxes, as well as provide fo rmatting con trol for the correct placeme nt of these images.
PY Then 17 When Gr aphics Mo de is on: • The cont rol panel d isplays ONL INE GRAP HICS • All GP L commands and data ar e proces sed by Co de V • Non-GPL da ta is pass ed to the cur rent emulati on.
18 Chapter 1 Code V Command Character (CV CC) Code V Command Characte r (CVCC) All GP L commands begin with a Command Character. By default, th is charac ter is an A SCII caret (^ ) having h exadeci mal value o f 5E. Changing The CVCC There ar e two ways to c hange the CVCC.
Turning Free Format On 19 Free Format The GPL p rovides a mode which i gnores a ll data with v alues less t han 20 (decim al 32). Data h aving v alues bel ow decimal 32 are c ollectivel y call ed Control C haracters and incl ude Line Feed, For m Feed, and E scape charac ters.
20 Chapter 1 Free Format Control Code Eq uivalent s When Free F ormat is turne d ON, GPL control co de equival ents are treate d as actual A SCII control c odes.
Control Code Equivalents 21 Ignore Data The Ignore Data co mmand causes the printer to ignore al l data (e xcept for th e command to turn Ignore Data OFF). This allows comme nts or other tha t is not to be pri nted to be ins erted in to the docu ment for info rmation purposes.
22 Chapter 1 Graphic s Pass Not all G PL comm ands and d ata sent to the printer need to be in a pass. In fact, many c ommands m ust be ou tside of a pas s to func tion properly . For instanc e, the com mand ^H se ts the for m length if i t is used outs ide of a pas s, but sets t he pass heig ht if it is u sed within a Pass .
Pass F ormat 23 The Print er uses a Hea p Buffer t o process the p ass for pr inting. If a Grap hics Pass i s so com plex that pr ocessing it over flows the a vailable He ap Buff er space, t he Print er aborts p rocessing a nd announc es a Heap Overlfow fa ult.

27 2 Character Printing Control Panel Option A new opti on has be en added to the contr ol panel unde r the Grap hics categor y . T he new op tion, Vscal e, determ ines whether or not ver tical bloc k charac ters will be s caled to match the difference betwee n the ho rizontal and vert ica l prin t den siti es.
28 Chapter 2 Block Character When a bl ock cha racter is rotated 90 de grees clo ckwise or countercl ockwise on a page, t he height a nd width valu es are exchan ged: • the Gra phics Pass h eight value determin es the new character width. • the Gra phics Pass w idth valu e determine s the new char acter hei ght.
