When a Create Form command is issued, the printer moves from the Normal
Mode to the Create Form Mode.
When in the Create Form Mode, the user sends text, images, and bar code
data to the IGP. All of this data is stored in memory. An End statement
terminates the IGP data string. The printer returns to Normal Mode.
You can create as many forms as you wish and store them on your host.
These forms can then be downloaded from your host to the printer.
When you execute a form, you can print it as many times as you wish. This
saves you time downloading the form each time you want to print it.

Modes of Operation
The IGP has five modes of operation that use specific command sequences
to control the IGP.
• In the Normal Mode, the printer waits for an SFCC in order to perform IGP
functions.
• In Quiet Mode, all IGP commands are ignored except the LISTEN
command.
• In the Create Logo Mode the printer produces graphics such as forms,
logos, bar codes, and alphanumeric data.
• The Execute Mode is the IGP printing mode, which controls when the
actual printing of the bar codes and graphics will occur.
• In Create Form Mode, the printer produces graphics such as forms,
logos, bar codes, and alphanumeric data.
