Practice Using VGL
Practice Graphic Exercise - High Resolution
The high resolution practice exercise is very similar to the normal resolution
exercise; the difference is that some parameters have been expanded to
allow sizing and positioning at greater levels of specificity (higher resolution).
Again, remember to properly terminate each command line and be sure that
the printer power is on and that the printer is ready and on line.

2.
To avoid accidentally terminating the graphics command sequence by a
host-generated terminator, enable the Free Format command (F). This
allows VGL to accept the data as one continuous stream even though the
data may contain host-generated paper motion commands. When Free
Format is enabled, VGL only recognizes the Free Format command
terminators: Carriage Return (^-), Form Feed (^,), Line Feed (^*), Vertical
Tab (^+), and EVFU commands.

To see the results, enter a sequence terminator. For example, enable the
Free Format Form Feed command (,) and print the file. The result should
look like the example shown in Figure 32.
