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 in- itialized 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 ca- pable of sending ASCII character data.
