Now after we have downloaded the field layout to the printer, we can send the variable
information to the printer.
!R
62.50
42
!P
To print another label with another price
we send another data set for the variables.
!R
78.10

Clear layout. Note! If this field is omitted, the new layout fields
will be added the previos layout.
The Y commands are used to change the printers settings,
like label length, current character set.
Add text fields to the layout.
Using variable 1 and 2.
Add a barcode field to the layout, also
using variable 1.
Add a box field to the layout. Note! This
field entierly covers the "testlabel" field, the
result will be a black box with the white
text inside, since the printer uses the XOR
bit manipulation for overlapping fields.
clear variable information.
