Form Overlay, Store

Command Structure	<ESC>&
	Example:	<ESC>&
	Placement:	Must be preceded by all other data and placed just before
		the Stop command (<ESC>Z)
	Default:	None
Command Function	To store a label image in the volatile form overlay memory. Only one
	label image may be stored in this memory area at a time.
Input to Printer	<ESC>A
	<ESC>H0001<ESC>V0125
	<ESC>STHIS IS THE STORED IMAGE WITH A BARCODE
	<ESC>H0001<ESC>V0165<ESC>B10310012345
	<ESC>&
	<ESC>Z
Printer Output	There is no output from this command. It stores the label image in the
	overlay buffer.
Special Notes	1. Remember that this storage is volatile. Therefore, if the printer
	loses power, the overlay must be sent again.

2. The overlay is recalled using the <ESC>/ Form Overlay Recall command.

3. Form overlays do not have to be recompiled each time they are called to be printed and therefore may result in much faster print output.

4. The CT printers can only store one format.
