Chapter 7 Commands
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.
Important!
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.
Important!
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”
