PGL Modes
Four basic modes of operation for the PGL are available: NORMAL, LOGO,
CREATE, and EXECUTE.
NORMAL
In NORMAL mode, the printer functions in line printer mode. The incoming
data is scanned by the printer for SFCC commands. When the printer
encounters a properly formatted SFCC Command it executes the specified
command.
CREATE
The CREATE mode allows you to create forms for use in EXECUTE mode.
These forms can include logos, borders, and static text.
EXECUTE
The EXECUTE mode allows you to use the forms you have created.
LOGO
The LOGO mode allows you to create graphical images for use in forms.
