AUTOFR Command - Automatic Form Printing
Description This special form process allows you to detach
the printer from the computer and print in a
standalone mode. The EPL2 printer reserves
the form name AUTOFR to allow the printer to
automatically start a form when the printer is initialized power-up. This feature can be used in
many ways:.
· Feed a single label in peel mode and print
multiple labels set to the number of labels on
the roll.
· Have a form with a variable and enter the
variable with a scanner, terminal, weight
scale, circuit analyzer or any other device capable of sending ASCII character data.
Using AUTOFR Download a form to the printer with the name
