Terminate the file with an escape character. Select the saved format and send the variable
data as normal. It may be the difference between sending a few lines of data versus the
entire format! Access is very fast.

To list a file that has previously been sent to the printer, use the ^AX^D54 command,
where ^AX denotes the file to be read. The printer will send the file to the serial port.

Sample files: File #1 initiates the save format file memory and downloads saved format file
#1. File #1 includes all the fixed data on the label. File #2 is the file that initiates processing
of file #1 and includes all variable data for the format. File #2 also prints the label. File #3
shows how a second saved format would look if the entire format was in one file.

NOTE: = 1B hex or ESC character

File #1
^D1005

;Remember, send this string first time.
