Introduction

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.
