Form Examples
NOTE: The examples in this manual were produced on an L1016 printer.
Using a different type of printer or a different configuration could
affect the appearance of your printed samples compared to those
shown in this manual.
Additionally, depending on the paper, top–of–form setting and
initial print position, the positioning of your printed samples on the
page may vary compared to the examples shown here; these
samples have been positioned on the page to correspond with the
related text.
The following examples are written to print on 11–in paper, and
some of them have to be modified accordingly to print on a typical
4–in–long thermal printer label.
The example on the following page demonstrates how to use Create
commands in the Create Form mode using the CP.DP format. The printed
output for this program is shown in Figure 6–1 on page 6–4. (The Hand
logo used in this example was previously defined and stored and, thus, is not
shown in the form program.) The box surrounding the form represents the
paper size.
NOTE: If comment lines are used on command lines, they must be preceded
by a slash (/). Do not use / comments on–lines containing an SFCC
(NORMAL, CREATE, EXECUTE, etc.). Comments in parentheses
in this section are provided for better understanding of IGP/PGL
operation but should not be included in your IGP/PGL files.
