Chapter 7—Commands
FS – Form Store
Description This command is used to begin a Form Store sequence.
Syntax FS"name"
Parameters "name" This is the form name that will be used when retrieving the stored form. The
name may be from 1 to 8 characters. The printer is case sensitive, that is form
names will be stored with the exact case entered on the FS command line.
Remarks All commands following FS will be stored in the Forms memory
until a FE command is received, ending the form store process.
If a form with the same name is already stored in memory, the
FS command will result in an error and the old form will be
retained. When updating a form, use the FK command to delete
the old version before storing the new version. To print a list of
the forms currently stored in memory, use the FI command.
Global commands, such as EI, EK, ES, FI, FK, GI, GK, GM, I,
M, N, P, U, UE, UF, UG, UI, UM,UP, UN, US, Y, W, ?, or ^@
should not be used in a form store sequence.
Always make backup copies on the host! If you need to change
the memory allocation (see M command), all formats and
graphics stored in the printer and memory cartridge will be
lost.
Startup Form A special case of forms is the startup form, that is automatically
retrieved and prompted for variables (if necessary) each time
power is applied to the printer. A startup form is created by
naming the form "AUTOFR". To exit the "AUTOFR" mode,
send XOFF or NULL to the printer on the serial interface.
Note: Always test the form using another name before making
it a startup form. If a startup form causes an error, there are two
ways of clearing it:
• If the indicator lamp shines green, send XOFF or NULL to
exit "AUTOFR" mode. Then delete the startup fi le using FK
"AUTOFR"
• If the indicator lamp shines orange, there is no
communication and the memory must be erased by pressing
the Feed button for more than 3 seconds in the Dump Mode.
Example FS"TEST1"↵ :Begins the form store sequence of
"TEST1"
.....
FE↵ :Ends the form store sequence of "TEST1"
