28 Intermec EasyCoder ESim v4.00—Programmer’s Reference Manual
Chapter 6—Retrieving and Printing a Form
The example below demonstrates that it is not necessary to set the
counter start value again. The counter internally keeps track of the last
number issued as long as the power remains switched on and is updated
according to instructions in the form.

Once a form has been retrieved, it can be used over and over again until
another form is retrieved. All variable input data and counter values are
stored in the volatile memory, which means they will be lost if the printer
is switched off or at a power failure. If prompts are enabled, existing
data and counter values will be displayed on the screen after the related
prompt. Any input data can be overwritten at will.
Command Explanation

Note: The question mark (?) following the FR command is
essential for the printing of certain fi elds edited in the Form
Edit Mode, that is fi elds containing variables or counters.
Variables and counter start values must be entered or accepted
as described above. If no question mark is transmitted, all fi elds
containing variable input, that is variables and counters, will be
completely omitted from the printout.
