Form Overlay, Store
Command Structure:
<ESC>&
Example: See above
Placement: Must be preceded by all other data and placed just be-
fore the Stop command (<ESC>Z)
Default: None
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:
<ESC>A
<ESC>H0001<ESC>V0125
<ESC>STHIS IS THE STORED IMAGE WITH A BARCODE
<ESC>H0001<ESC>V0165<ESC>B103100*12345*
<ESC>&
<ESC>Z
Output:
There is no output from this command. It stores the label image in the
overlay buffer.
Note:
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.
