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.
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 file using
FK“AUTOFR”.
• If the indicator lamp shines orange, there is no
communication and the memory must be erased by pressing
the Feed key for more than 3 seconds in Dump mode.
