It is important to note that the saved format file mode works very well with variable text.
Configure the format file with all the positioning data, header information and fixed text.
Terminate the file with an escape character. The format can be selected and only the
variable data needs to be sent.
To list a file that has previously been sent to the printer, use the ^AX^D54 command,
where ^AX denotes the file to be read. The printer will send the file to the serial port.
Sample files: File #1 initiates the save format file memory and downloads saved format
file #1. File #1 includes all the fixed data on the label. File #2 is the file that initiates
processing of file #1 and includes all variable data for the format. File #2 also prints the
label. File #3 shows how a second saved format would look if the entire format was in
one file.
