Chapter 9 PGL Commands

Ignore Commands (Normal, Create, and Execute)

Good parameters document what they are doing in different sections of their code by including things such as Comment Fields or REM statements. In PGL the same type of information can be included in PGL files by bracketing them with the IGON and IGOFF commands.

In addition, some host systems pad the data stream with characters and spaces before the SFCC. You can use these commands to cause the printer to ignore these additional characters by inserting the IGON at the end of the last PGL file and IGOFF at the beginning of the next PGL file. After sending an IGON Command the printer will ignore ALL characters until it receives an IGOFF Command. The commands that control the Ignore Mode are:
