2. The complete command string
must be entered as shown below.
Incomplete command strings
and command strings with
invalid values (such as spaces)
will cause the PQ-8 to print the
string at the place where the
error occurred.
For example, a line command
string has been entered.
However, an invalid <x start>
value has been specified.
¬GL30;A;1;1;600
The PQ-8 would cause all
characters, including the invalid
value “A” to be printed:
A;1;1;600
3. As an alternative to using the
semicolon “;” as a separator
between parameters, you may
also enter a comma “,” or a
forward slash “/”.
4. Do not enter numeric values
with commas (for example,
50,000). The printer interface
will interpret the “ ,” to be the
end of the parameter (so that,
for example, 50,000 would be
interpreted as two values: value 1
= 50, value 2 = 000).
International users should also
be aware that a decimal value
used to specify line width (in
mm) such as “1,5” (i.e. 1 1/2) is
also interpreted as two separate
values (i.e. value 1 = 1, value 2 =
5). To enter a valid decimal line
width use the period “.” (i.e. 1.5
mm).

ESCRIPTION
Lines—¬GL<line width>;<x start>;<y
start>;<x end>;<y end>
Draws a line from the specified xy
start to xy end. <Line width> is
specified in mm.
For example: ¬GL2;100;0;100;600
draws a 2 mm wide, vertical (<x
start> = <x end>) line of 2 inches in
length (<y-end> - <y-start> =
600/300” = 2”) (Figure 6-10)
