Printronix LQH-HWTM manual Creating a Box and Corners, Stop END

Creating a Box and Corners

3.The IGP is now ready for Create Form mode commands. Design a box with a line thickness (LT) of 2 dots, a top left corner at starting row (SR) 35, starting column (SC) 16, and a bottom right corner at ending row (ER) 53, ending column (EC) 61. The STOP command must be entered to inform the IGP that the Box command is complete.

Enter	Format
BOX	BOX
2;35;16;53;61	LT;SR;SC;ER;EC
STOP	STOP

4.Use the Corner command to set the box off with corners having a line thickness (LT) of 3 dots, a top left corner at row (SR) 30, column (SC) 13, a bottom right corner at row (ER) 57, column (EC) 64, a vertical length (VL) 5 character spaces long, and a horizontal length (HL) 7 character spaces long. The STOP command must be entered to stop the Corner command and END must be entered to terminate the Create Form mode to prepare for printing.

Enter	Format
CORNER	CORNER
3;30;13;57;64;5;7	LT;SR;SC;ER;EC;VL;HL
STOP	STOP
END	END

5.Now use the Execute command and form name to prepare for printing. Enter a blank line using a terminator and then the Normal command to instruct the IGP to return to the Normal mode after executing the form.

EnterFormat

~EXECUTE;PRACTICE (cc)EXECUTE;formname[;PAGEn][;FC]

~NORMAL(cc)NORMAL

6.To print the form, exit the file (if necessary for your system) and use the system print command to print the file. For example, after exiting the file and your system prompt returns:

Enter	Format
.PRINT PRACTC.FRM	(System Format)

The form should look like the one shown in Figure 50. When it was printed, the form program was stored in the IGP memory. If errors are detected in the program, error messages are printed and only the error-free portions of the program are stored in the IGP memory. Refer to “Solving Program Errors” on page 248.
