Form Overlay, Store
Command Structure <ESC>&
Example: See above
Placement: Must be preceded by all other data and placed just
before the Stop command (<ESC>Z)
Default: None
Command Function To store a label image in the volatile form overlay memory. Only one
label image may be stored in this memory area at a time.
Input to Printer
Printer Output There is no output from this command. It stores the label image in the
overlay buffer.
Special Notes 1. Remember that this storage is volatile. Therefore, if the printer
loses power, the overlay must be sent again.
2. The overlay is recalled using the <ESC>/ Form Overlay Recall
command.
3. Form overlays do not have to be recompiled each time they are
called to be printed and therefore may result in much faster print
output.
4. The Expanded Print Length <ESC>EX0 cannot be used with this
command. The maximum length label that can be used with
Forms Overlay is 7" for the CX208 and 6.3” for the CX212.
