To create a format do the following:

Design the label.

Replace variable data fields with field numbers.

Allocate space for the size of the field.

Give the format a name.

Save the format to the printer.

You can store multiple formats, limited by available DRAM. If you

try to save a format that would overload memory, that format is not

stored. You DO NOT receive an error message that the format is not

stored. You will learn that the format was not stored only when you

try to recall it (and are unable to do so) or if you print the List of

Formats.

If the power is turned OFF, ALL stored formats in DRAM will be lost.

Initialize/Erase Stored Formats

The ^EF or ~EF (Erase Format) instruction erases all stored formats.

If you use the erase format instruction, you erase all stored formats.

(Stored formats can be selectively erased using the ^ID instruction.)

For more information, see the ^EF or ~EF commands on page 212.

Download Format Instruction

The ^DF (Download Format) instruction saves the ZPL II format

instructions as text strings to be later merged using ^XF with variable

data. The format to be stored may contain Field Number (^FN)

instructions to be referenced when recalled.

While use of stored formats will reduce transmission time, no format-

ting time is saved since this instruction saves the ZPL II as text strings

which need to be formatted at print time. For more information, see

the ^DF command on page 200

Field Number Instruction

The ^FN (Field Number) instruction is used to number the data fields.

This instruction is used in both Store Format and Recall Format

operations.

In a stored format, the ^FN instruction is used where you would nor-

mally use the ^FD (Field Data) instruction. In recalling the stored
