Printronix ThermaLine Series - Manual (Page 50)

Commands 4–6
Prompt
The prompt is the symbol (e.g., a dollar sign, period or greater than symbol)
used to indicate that the host computer is ready for data input. In this manual,
the prompt is shown as a period (.).
Numeric Values
In this manual, a lowercase n in the command represents a numeric value. If
a command parameter includes a lowercase n, it must be substituted with an
appropriate numeric value. If the lowercase n is part of an optional parameter
and the option is not selected, a value for n is not required.
Comments in Command Lines
To aid in preparation or maintenance of a form or logo, comments can be
added to many command lines. Comments must be preceded by a slash (/).
However, do not use the /comment feature on lines containing an SFCC (i.e.,
CREATE, NORMAL, EXECUTE, etc.). Throughout this manual, comments
are provided in parenthesis beside most command lines for better
understanding of IGP/PGL operation but should not be included in your
IGP/PGL files.
Storing Data
To send data to the IGP/PGL, use a host system command, such as PRINT.
(Entering data through the keyboard does not store data in nonvolatile
IGP/PGL memory.) Once stored in memory, the data remains until deleted,
the IGP/PGL is reset with RESET command, or until the printer is turned off.
IGP/PGL files can be permanently stored to, deleted from, and retrieved
from the printer external memory modules by ending CREATE, CREATE
LOGO, DELETE FORM, DELETE LOGO, EXECUTE, and DIRECTORY
commands with ;DISK.
For example, the following command creates a form named ORDER and
stores it in the IGP/PGL printer external memory.
(cc)CREATE;ORDER;DISK
