Form Overlay, Store

Command Structure <ESC>&

Example: See above

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>ASTHISH0100<ESC>V01Z&ISTHESTORD6<25ESC>B103100*12345*IMAGEWITHABARCODE

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 Expanded Print Length <ESC>EX0 cannot be used with this

command. The maximum length label that can be used with Forms Overlay is 7" for the CX208 and 6.3” for the CX212.
