5.4 Working with forms
Starting to save a new form
This command starts the entry of a new form in the operational memory
of the printer. All valid commands, which are sent to the printer be-
tween this command and FE will be saved in this form. If any of the
commands is rejected due to syntax error because it has not been
accepted in a form it will not be saved. If there is a previous form with
this name it must be deleted with FK - in the opposite case the com-
mand will be rejected.
Format: FS”Name”
Name is the name of the file, which have at the most 8
symbols. All symbols with ASCII codes between 32 and
127 including are acceptable excluding the symbol ‘*’.
Small and capital letters are not distinguished so that
“Test” and “TEST” are one and the same form.
Example: FS”Test”
End of form
The command puts an end to the saving of the form it is registered in
the list of forms and is ready for loading and execution. If before the
command FE the printer is switched OFF the information from the
form entered so far is lost and the memory space it has covered is set
free. If no saving of a form is started the command will be rejected.
Format: FE
Loading of a form
The command announces the information entered earlier as active.
From this point on the information in question will be executed auto-
matically at each command for printing. The closing of the activity of
the form comes when a new form is loaded or with the commands M
or N. Of course, the result will be the same when the form is deleted.
Format: FR”Name”
Name: The name of the form. A form with this name must
be loaded into the memory.
Example: FR”Test”
