Printronix P5000 Printer Technical Note 5-0001 Rev A

P5000 CT/IGP Installation Information

Summary: 

To resolve installation and software issues that may arise when installing a P5000 printer with IGP and CT options in the same printer or when adding these options to existing P5000 printers.

Resolution:

When installing or upgrading a P5000 printer with a CT interface, or an IGP kit, or both CT and
IGP kits, the issue of what software and diskettes should be used will occur. Currently the
product is configured such that the options must be ordered separately from the base printer.
What should happen is that the order is placed for the CT if CT only printer, or the order is placed
for the IGP kit (VGL or PGL) if IGP only in printer, or when both the CT and IGP will be in the
same printer the order is placed for the CT/IGP (PGL or VGL) kit.

CT Interface

Printronix LinePrinter Plus Emulation Kit
IGP/PGL Printronix Graphics Language kit
IGP/VGL Code V Graphics Language Kit

LP+/CT Printronix LinePrinter Plus Kit for CT Interface
IGP/PGL-CT Printronix Graphics Language Kit for CT Interface
IGP/VGL-CT Code V Graphics Language Kit for CT Interface

This process works fine unless both options will be installed in the same printer and the
appropriate kit is not ordered. The software that is in the CT only kit will not work with the
IGP and the software that is in the IGP only kit will not work with the CT. When both
options will be in the same printer the sales person must order the software that supports
both CT and IGP (PGL or VGL). This is identified with both CT and the IGP emulation on the
label.
