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

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.

(through XO, XP commands) or bitmap graphic characters (through XD
command) are stored.
13
Chapter 2
LC – Line Format
Using this command, lines or squares can be drawn in the drawing space.
Coordinates are specified in 1/10 mm units. Squares can have rounded
corners. If the radius is set higher than the square width and height, circles
can be drawn.
PC – Bitmap Font Format
This command formats bitmap font fields. The location coordinates are
specified in 1/10 mm units. The font type can be set to any of the types listed
in
Table 1. Attributes like expansion and reverse can be applied. Data to be
printed can be included in this command or supplied separately through the

PV – Outline Font Format
This command formats outline (scalable) font fields. The location coordinates
are specified in 1/10 mm units. The font type can be set to either a fixed pitch
or a proportional font. The fonts are printed at the configured size in 1/10 mm
units. Data to be printed can be included in this command or supplied
separately through the RV command.
If a scalable font with Font-ID H, I, or J (as supported on newer TEC printers)
is required, the font must be downloaded to the printer first. To ensure that the
size and pitch matches the output of TEC printers, the font must be bought at
www.myfonts.com, and converted to a download file using the cnvt2fls utility.
Use following table to select the correct font(s) and printer file name.
FontID Font Name www.myfonts.com Flash File
H Dutch 801 BT (OpenTtype TTF) Dutch801.ttf
I Brush 738 (OpenTtype TTF) Brush 738.ttf
J Gothic 725 Black (OpenTtype TTF) Gothic725.ttf
Usage of cnvt2fls utility: cnvt2fls file_name1 file_name2 file_name3 A FONT
<return>
file_name1: Input file name to be converted from
(the filename used by myfonts.com, e.g. tt0013m_.ttf )
file_name2: Output file name for file download
(download filename e.g. Dutch.dnl )
file_name3: Flash file name (as shown in table above, e.g. Dutch801.ttf )
hw_type: Specify A.
FONT: Optional, specify FONT.
Place the printer in download mode and send the converted file
(e.g. Dutch.dnl). The font will appear in the flash file system with the printer
name (e.g. Dutch801.ttf), and can be used through the PV command.
RB / rB – Barcode Data
This command supplies data for a barcode field configured by the XB
command. The data will replace the data supplied with the XB command or
with a preceding RB command.
15
Chapter 2
RC / rC – Bitmap Font Data
This command supplies data for a bitmap font field configured by the PC
command. The data will replace the data supplied with the PC command or
with a preceding RC command.
RV / rV – Outline Font Data
This command supplies data for an outline font field configured by the PV
command. The data will replace the data supplied with the PV command or
with a preceding RV command.
SG – Graphic
This command is used to draw graphics. The location and size of the image
are specified in 1/10 mm units. Six modes are supported: Nibble mode
(Overwrite), Hex mode (Overwrite), Bitmap (.BMP) mode, Topix Compression
mode, Nibble mode (OR), and Hex mode (OR).
NOTE: A configuration setting (Scale Image) is provided to scale the images
drawn with this command in order to exactly match the size of images
on TEC printers (Scaling 306 > 300 dpi).
SG0 / SG1 – Graphic
These are two legacy commands that were supported on older TEC models.
The commands are used to draw graphics. The location of the image is
specified in 1/10 mm units. The size is specified in multiples of 8 dots. For
example, a width of 3 and a height of 2 will draw an image of 24 x 16 dots.
T – Feed
This command feeds one label of the size set by the D command. Parameters
specify the feed speed, sensor to be used, etc.
U1 / U2 – Forward/Reverse Feed
This command moves the media forward (U1) or reverse (U2) over the
specified distance in 1/10 mm units.
NOTE: For 6700-M40 printers, the Backward Feed is limited to a maximum of
1 inch. The valid range for this parameter on the 6700-M40 is
0030 to 0254 (in 0.1 mm units).
16
WS – Status Request Command
This command tells the printer to send its own status to the host computer.
The transmitted status is the current printer status, and indicates the latest
status only. The remaining count indicates the remaining batch count
currently being printed.
NOTE: The remaining batch count waiting to be printed is NOT transmitted.
Syntax: ESC WS LF NULL
Parameters:none
Response Format: See “Status Response” on page 12.
NOTE: The status request command is effective on serial (RS-232C) and
Ethernet interfaces only. Since the status cannot be sent via the
parallel interface (Centronics), this command is ignored.
After the code of the writable character command (XD) or the graphic
command (SG) is received, the status request command is not
processed until the printer receives the data type.
XB – Barcode Format
This command formats barcode fields. The location coordinates are specified
in 1/10 mm units. Many parameters of the barcode can be configured, like bar
and space widths, if and how the PDF must be printed, etc. The barcode
types listed in
this command or supplied separately through the RB command.

XD – Bitmap Writable Character
This command downloads bitmap characters or logos into the flash memory
of the printer. User-defined character sets 01 to 40 have been reserved for
this. After downloading, the characters or logos can be printed through the
PC/RC commands.
XJ – Message Display
This command displays a message on the LCD of the printer’s front panel.
Since TEC printers have a 20-character display, and TGL printers have two
lines of 16 characters each, any text exceeding 16 characters is word
wrapped to the second line on the LCD. The message disappears when the
ONLINE key is pressed.
18
XO – Save Start
After this command is received, all subsequent commands will be stored in a
file in flash memory until the save terminate command (XP) is received. The
ID in this command specifies the file name. The files can later be loaded from
flash and executed as host data using the XQ command.
XP – Save Terminate
This command terminates the saving of data into a file in flash memory.
Saving into a file is started through the XO command.
XQ – Saved Data Call
This command loads a saved file from flash memory and executes it as host
data. Files are saved in flash memory using the XO and XP commands.
XR – Clear Area
This command clears or inverts a specified area in the drawing space. The
area coordinates are specified in 1/10 mm units.
XS – Issue
This command prints the label. Several parameters are provided which
configure the print settings: speed, sensor type, and copy-count.
i / iN – Issue
This legacy command prints the label. If N is provided, a copy count can be
specified.

3 Ignored Commands
HD – Head Broken Dots Check
This command is used to check the print head for broken dots. This command
is accepted but ignored, because TGL printers do not have the hardware
facilities for checking the thermal head. On TEC printers, data processing is
continued when no broken dots are found. The TGL emulation will always
behave as if no broken dots were found.
RM – Ribbon Motor Drive Voltage Adjust
This command is used to adjust the ribbon motor voltages. It is accepted but
ignored, because TGL printers have a closed loop to control the motor
voltages. Adjustment through host control is therefore not necessary.
WR – Reset
This command resets the printer to its power-on state.
WS – Status Request
This command sends the printer status to the host.
21
Chapter 3
22
4 Command Enhancements
And Differences
J1 – Flash Format
Similiar to TEC printers, the flash files are removed, but the flash memory is
not formatted. To reuse the flash memory, an optimize and reboot action is
required.
~LI – Listen Mode
This command is not supported on TEC printers. It allows the TGL emulation
to become active again after it has been put in quiet mode through the ~QU
command.
T – Feed
The ribbon-saving function supported on TEC printers is not supported on
TGL printers. Enabling ribbon-saving on TGL printers will therefore have no
effect.
XB – Barcode
The Japanese barcode types (parameter values R and S) are not supported
in TGL.
XS – Issue
The ribbon-saving function supported on TEC printers is not supported on
TGL printers. Enabling ribbon-saving on TGL printers will therefore have no
effect.
~QU – Quiet Mode
This command puts the TGL emulation in quiet mode, which allows for the
printing of pure text until the listen command is received (~LI). In Quiet Mode
TGL commands are ignored.

B Status Response
Serial And Ethernet Interface
1. Auto Status Response
The Auto Status Response feature is enabled or disabled by the status
response parameter in the XS command.
Once an XS command enables the Auto Status Response feature, it will stay
enabled until another XS command disables it. The status response menu
defines whether the Auto Status Response after power up must be enabled or
disabled. If set to 'On Request+Auto', Auto Status Response is enabled until
disabled by an XS command.
If the Auto Status Response is enabled, a response will be sent to the host
• after processing the Issue (XS) command when
• the Issue Mode parameter is set to Batch Mode, after printing the
designated number of labels.
• the Issue Mode parameter is set to Strip Mode, after printing one
label.
• at the end of the Feed (T) command.
• if one of the errors listed in the table below occurs.
2. On Status Request command ( WS-command )
The Status Request command is enabled by selecting either the On Request
Only or the On Request + Auto option in the TGL SETUP > Status Response
menu. The printer sends its current status to the host, regardless of the option
“status response” in the label issue command (XS). The remaining count
indicates the remaining number of labels in the current batch.
