Data Bit 8
• Enable (default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to 
printer; all 8 bits are used for data bits, and characters in the 
hex 80-FF range can be accessed. 
• Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, Data Bit 8 internally 
indicates PI line status. To use the PI line, disable Data Bit 8, 
and enable the Host PI configuration option (under the PI 
Control option, below).
NOTE: Data Bit 8 is interpreted as either Data Bit 8 or PI signal, but 
never both. When enabled as Data Bit 8, Data Bit 8 has 
priority over the PI signal, and all data above hex 7F is 
used to access character data and not to interpret PI line 
data. 
Conversely, when Data Bit 8 is disabled and the PI signal is 
used, Data Bit 8 of the data is reserved for use as the PI 
function, and you cannot access characters in the hex 80-
FF range. Therefore, to access characters in the hex 80-FF 
range, Data Bit 8 must be enabled.
Font Set
The Font Set specifies which language is currently selected for use 
with the VGL. Refer to “IGP/VGL Font Set Menu” on page 163 for 
available selections.
PI Control
Printer PI
