Chapter 6 — Retrieving and Printing a Form
Example

The form "TEST" edited in the previous chapter can be retrieved
and printed from any ASCII-sending device using this sequence:
Command
Explanation
CR/LF to start command structure
Retrieve form
FR"TEST"
Call for variables
?
Substitute variable V00
EASYCODER

Dan
Counter start value C0
100000
Print 2 copies of a single label
P1,2
Note: It is critical to the syntax to send exactly the same number
of variable lines as defined for the label form.
The question mark (?) following the FR command is required for
printing any fields edited in Form Edit mode that contain
variables or counters. If no question mark is transmitted, all fields
containing variable input are omitted from the printout.
Variables and counter start values must be defined, either by
programming or by user input.
