Genicom GEK 00031B manual Decifm

DECIFM	Start Forms Sequence: Selects any form loaded in the printer’s RAM.
	When a form is selected, the printer enters Form Mode and variable ‘fill-
	in’ data is merged and printed with the form data.
	General Command Syntax
	DCS P1 & r FORM NAME ST
	Indeterminate Conditions
	P1 is the select form switch character. The select form switch
	character always ranges from 20 hex through 7E hex and designates
	the printer to switch back to form data. When the printer encounters
	a FF character in the form data portion of a multiple page form, it
	advances to the next page and continues merging with the fill-in data
	that follows. If there is more than one set of fill-in data, the same
	form constant data is merged with the new fill-in data to create
	additional forms.
	The FORM NAME is the first ten characters of the loaded form’s ID
	(or the full form ID if it is ten characters or less in length). If no such
	form exists, the fill-in data is printed as text data.
	Decimal:	144 P1 38 114 FORM NAME 156
	Hex:	90 P1H 26 72 FORM NAME 9C
	BASIC:	CHR$(144);P1;”&r”;”FORM NAME”;CHR$(156);

NOTE

The text and command strings corresponding to the last field of a multi-page form page must terminate with a switch character. The last field in the last page of a form must terminate with the Stop Form sequence and not with the switch character. To exit the FORM Mode, enter a Terminate sequence.
