Modes of Operation

When you execute a form, you can print it as many times as you wish. This

saves you time downloading the form each time you want to print it.

. IGP Modes

Modes of Operation

The IGP has five modes of operation that use specific command sequences

to control the IGP.

• In the Normal Mode, the printer waits for an SFCC in order to perform IGP

functions.

• In Quiet Mode, all IGP commands are ignored except the LISTEN

command.

• In the Create Logo Mode the printer produces graphics such as forms,

logos, bar codes, and alphanumeric data.

• The Execute Mode is the IGP printing mode, which controls when the

actual printing of the bar codes and graphics will occur.

• In Create Form Mode, the printer produces graphics such as forms,

logos, bar codes, and alphanumeric data.
