AUTOFR - Automatic Form Printing Feature

AUTOFR

treats any incoming data as a variable in-

tended for printing. This means if you send the

printer a memory partition command, the label will

print, if you send a delete command - the label will

print! So, while you are testing

AUTOFR

it is best to

use another name for the form. Once you are satis-

fied with the form, rename it

AUTOFR

before you

download it. There is no need to specify a file exten-

sion.

Isolating Data From

the Input Device

Place the printer in the diagnostic dump mode

and send from your data input device. All charac-

ters the device sends will be printed on the label.

If nothing prints, nothing is arriving - check

pin-outs and serial settings.

Disabling AUTOFR Send a XOFF data character (13 hex. or ASCII

19) or a NUL (00 hex. or ASCII 0) to the printer.
The form may now be deleted from the printer.

Removing AUTOFR The programmer must send a Delete Form -

command to the printer after disabling

AUTOFR

Example:

FK"AUTOFR"
