Example 1 The following commands store the format that
prints the label in the Format Recall example.
Data is still needed for the description, price, and
combined item/price. The printer will send
prompts for this data to the serial port at print
time. This is a standard stored format; notice that
commands that define fixed data are freely mixed
with commands that define variable data.

Example 2 This file stores the same label using enhanced
format storage. Notice that all commands
specifying variable data are grouped at the end of
the file and separated from the fixed data
commands by the delimiter character (the \
character in this case). Do not send prompts to the
printer when using enhanced format storage.
