Although the Select Format command enables the IGP/PGL to ignore all
host–generated paper movement commands, you can input IGP/PGL paper
movement commands with Select Format on.
SFON/SFOFF cannot be used during Ignore Sequence (page 4–65).
Also, during the downloading of TIFF and PCX logos, the SFON/SFOFF
commands are ignored, and, instead, the printer receives the raw data.
