AUTOFR Command - Automatic Form Printing

Description This special form process allows you to detach

the printer from the computer and print in a

standalone mode. The EPL2 printer reserves

the form name

AUTOFR

to allow the printer to

automatically start a form when the printer is in-

itialized power-up. This feature can be used in

many ways:.

Feed a single label in peel mode and print

multiple labels set to the number of labels on

the roll.

Have a form with a variable and enter the

variable with a scanner, terminal, weight

scale, circuit analyzer or any other device ca-

pable of sending ASCII character data.
