1 Introduction
About This Manual
This manual explains the differences between the Printer Protocol Interpreter
®
TEC
Graphic Language (TGL) Utility and the TEC printer language. If you
have a 6700 printer use this manual with your
for complete printer-protocol operation. If you have a 6700-M40 printer use
this manual with your
Subtle enhancements to the 6700 printer (models 5504-Rxx) were made in
late 2009. Printers manufactured prior to this date are referred to as "older
6700 printers" throughout this manual. Older 6700 printers do not have the
letter "J" as the third character in the printer's serial number.
NOTE: When substituting a TEC B-470/870 model printer with a 6700 or
6700-M40 printer, refer to TGL Menu Conversions on page

For 6700-M40 printers, the TGL Setup Menu is available only
when you enable Admin User in the PRINTER SETUP menu.

When substituting a TEC B-470/870 model printer with a
6700 printer, refer to the menu conversion in Appendix F.

TGL SETUP Submenus
TGL SETUP Submenus
Active
• Yes (default). When enabled, all data is parsed by the TGL emulation.
Non-TGL data is absorbed.
• No. When disabled, non-TGL text data prints.
Character Set
Selects the character set: either PC-850, PC-8, or 8859-2 Latin 2. The factory
default is PC-850.
Slash Zero
• Enable. When enabled, the zero character is overlaid with a slash
character.
• Disable (default). If disabled, the zero character does not have a slash
character.
Image Scale
• Enable. When enabled, images are scaled from TEC printer resolution
(306 dpi) to the resolution of the TGL printer (300 dpi).
• Disable (default). If disabled, scaling will not take place, resulting in
images that are 2% larger than images printed on the TEC printer.
Printing is faster though, and the image keeps the right proportions.
SFCC Select
Use this menu to select the SFCC, SFCC-Separator, and SFCC-Terminator
sets.
• Auto Select (default). The printer selects the SFCC set based upon the
received host data.
• <ESC><LF><NULL> is a predefined set. The ESC character is the
SFCC, the LF is the SFCC-Separator, and the NULL character is the
SFCC-Terminator.
• { I } is a predefined set. The { character is the SFCC, the I is the SFCC-
Separator, and the } character is the SFCC-Terminator.
• User Defined. When you select User Defined, three additional menus
appear in the tree. These menus allow the SFCC, SFCC-Separator, and
SFCC-Terminator to be configured individually.
SFCC
This menu is only present when “User Defined” is selected in the SFCC
menu. Using this menu, the SFCC can be set to any value between 0x0 and
0xFF. The factory default is 0x7B.

Chapter 1 TGL SETUP Menu
SFCC Separator
This menu is only present when “User Defined” is selected in the SFCC
menu. SFCC-Separator can be set to any value between 0x0 and 0xFF. The
factory default is 0x7C.
SFCC Terminator
This menu is only present when “User Defined” is selected in the SFCC
menu. SFCC-Terminator can be set to any value between 0x0 and 0xFF.
The factory default is 0x7D.
EURO Symbol
This menu allows you to configure the position of the EURO symbol in the
code pages. EURO Symbol can be set to any value between 0x20 and 0xFF.
The factory default is 0xB0.
Speed CMDs
This option allows you to choose whether the engine commands that affect
the print/feed speed should be processed or ignored. To adjust the print/feed
speed through the front panel, use this menu to prevent the host commands
from overriding these settings. When you select “Ignore,” TGL ignores the
following commands or command parameters:
• The print speed parameter in the XS command. The parameter will have
no effect; the “Print Speed” value as configured in the “MEDIA
CONTROL” menu will be used.
• The feed speed parameter in the T command. The parameter will have no
effect; the “Slew Speed” value as configured in the “MEDIA CONTROL”
menu will be used.
The factory default is Process.
AY Intensity CMD
This option allows you to choose whether the engine command to set the print
intensity (AY) should be processed or ignored. If you want to adjust the print
intensity through the front panel, use this menu to prevent the host commands
from overriding these settings. When you select “Ignore,” the AY command
will be ignored and “Print Intensity” as configured in the “MEDIA CONTROL”
menu will be used.
The factory default is Process.
U1/U2 Move CMDs
This option allows you to choose whether the engine command to move
paper forward (U1) or backward (U2) will be processed or ignored. When you
select “Ignore,” the paper will not be moved when either command is
received.
The factory default is Process.
10
TGL SETUP Submenus
XS Sensor Param
This option allows you to choose whether the sensor type parameter in the XS
command will be processed or ignored. When you select “Ignore” TGL will
use the sensor type as configured through “Gap/Mark Sensor” under the
“CALIBRATE CTRL” menu.
The factory default is Process.
XS Media ‘C’ Act
This option defines which media mode TGL will operate on receipt of a ‘C’
(strip mode) for the issue mode parameter in the XS command. Any of the
supported media modes can be selected. When you select “Ignore,” TGL will
use the issue mode as configured through “Media Handling” under the
“MEDIA CONTROL” menu.
The factory default is Continuous.
XS Media ‘D’ Act
This option defines which media mode TGL will operate on receipt of a ‘D’
(strip mode) for the issue mode parameter in the XS command. Any of the
supported media modes can be selected. When you select “Ignore,” TGL will
use the issue mode as configured through “Media Handling” under the
“MEDIA CONTROL” menu.
Tear-Off is the default for 6700 printers. Tear-Off Strip is the default for
6700-M40 printers.
AR Pre-Feed CMD
This option allows you to choose whether the engine command for a paper
pre-feed (AR) should be processed or ignored. When you select “Ignore,” the
paper will not pre-feed.
The factory default is Process.
AX Fine Adj. CMD
This option allows you to choose whether the engine command for a position
fine adjust (AX) should be processed or ignored. When you select “Ignore,”
the paper will not fine-adjust.
The factory default is Process.
11
Chapter 1 TGL SETUP Menu
Page Alignment
This menu is used to define the alignment of the image on the page. If set to
Center, the image will be centered on the page, using the page width set in
the configuration. For example, if the image is 4 inches wide, and the label
width is 6 inches, a 1 inch margin is applied to the left and right sides of the
image.
If set to Left the image will align to the left side. When the label is printed in
portrait mode (top of label comes out first), the left side is the right side of the
label when standing in front of the printer. If the label is printed in inverted
portrait mode (bottom of label comes out first), left is also the left side of the
label when standing in front of the printer.
If set to Right the image will align to the right side. When the label is printed in
portrait mode (top of label comes out first), the right side is the left side of the
label when standing in front of the printer. If the label is printed in inverted
portrait mode (bottom of label comes out first), right is also the right side of the
label when standing in front of the printer.
The factory default is Center.
Vert. DPI Adjust
NOTE: Applies to 6700-M40 and older 6700 printers only.
This option fine adjusts the resolution used to convert the coordinates of page
elements (barcodes, font fields, graphic images, lines and boxes). The
coordinates received from the host are in 1/10 mm and are converted to
engine resolution (203 or 300 dpi). In cases where the printed image length is
incorrect, the vertical resolution value TGL uses for calculations can be fine
adjusted between –100 and +100. Negative values result in a lower DPI value
and thus a longer image. Positive values result in a higher DPI value and thus
a shorter image. Note that this adjustment does not affect the size of fonts
and barcodes, only the coordinates.
The factory default is 0.
Status Response
This option selects when a status response is sent back to the host. This
menu contains the following options:
• Disable. No status response will be sent to the host.
• On Request Only. A status response is sent to the host only after
receiving the WS command.
• On Request+Auto. A status response is sent to the host after receiving
the WS command, or automatically when specific conditions are met.
See Appendix B on page 29 for details.
The factory default is Disable.
When this menu item is enabled (Set to 'On Request Only' or
'On Request+Auto'), IGP Windows Drivers cannot be utilized.
For 6700 printers, the TN Protocol cannot be utilized.
