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.
