Define Format (^T)
The Define Format command creates or deletes a format. A format definition stays
in the printer until you erase it with this command.
You can store up to 15 format definitions. The printer discards definitions
overflowing into available space.

identifier
The format identifier. Enter any of the following characters: 0-9,
A-Z, a-z, :, ;, <, =, >, ?, @, [, \, ], -, and ‘.
If you want to use the same identifier as a format already in the
printer, delete the format in the printer.

field_1...
field_n
A list of up to 30 field identifiers used to print this label. These
identifiers are from the identifier field of the ^R command. List
them as they appear from top to bottom on the format. You can
list fields appearing side-by-side in any order. If the fields are not
in order, an error occurs.
