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.
IMPORTANT!
Note that 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.
