1–11Introduction
Create Logo Mode
The Create Logo mode is used in the Create Form mode. The Create Logo
mode creates a logo design; this predefined logo is then “called” into a form
in the Create Form mode. (The logo must be defined before it is “called.”)
Execute Form Mode
The Execute Form mode prints forms created in the Create Form mode.
Execute Form mode commands are summarized in Table 1–3 and fully
described on the referenced pages. Carriage Return, Form Feed, and Line
Feed commands also operate in the Execute Form mode. Remember that the
EXECUTE Form command must be entered in UPPERCASE, and that a
single line spacing (or a line containing overlay data) must separate an
EXECUTE command from a NORMAL command.
NOTE: Some systems pad the data stream with characters and spaces. If the
IGP/PGL file on your system contains padded characters or spaces
before the SFCC, this data must be ignored before the IGP/PGL can
operate. The Ignore Sequence (IGON/IGPOFF) command,
discussed on page 4–65, is provided for this purpose.
Similarly, at times you may also need the IGP/PGL to ignore
host–originated paper movement commands (carriage return, line
feed, form feed, etc.) in lengthy data streams. Select Format
(SFON/SFOFF) discussed on page 4–90 is provided for this
purpose. In addition, the Quiet command, (page 4–84), can be used
to pass data unchanged to the printer.
