Chapter 2 Command Codes
Example The example below illustrates the use of the Enable Non-
Graphics Free Format command:
^PF^-(LF)(LF)(LF)(LF)^PY^-F^-^M02,02,100 data for form one
^*^X extraneous, unwanted host data ^A^M01,01,000 more form one
data
^-(LF)(LF)(LF)(FF)^PN^-^*^*(LF)(LF)
^PY^-^F^-^M02,02,000
data for form two, etc ^-
In this example, all of the host-generated line and form feed
commands, represented by (LF) and (FF), are ignored and paper
motion is controlled by the Code V standard graphics format
control commands (^-), (^*), and (^,). This is done even though
Graphics Mode is exited and reentered between the forms.
Between the forms two standard graphics line feed commands
(^*) are used to move the paper instead of the host-generated
(LF) commands. Notice that after the Graphics Mode is enabled,
the Free Format and Ignore Data commands (^F^-), (^X), and
(^A) are used to ignore the unwanted host data. When all of the
labels or forms are completed, sending Free Format Non-
Graphics Disable command returns the Code V to the fully-
transparent Normal Mode.
Free Format Disable, Non-Graphics
Purpose Disables the Non-Graphics Free Format command (PF), which
allows host-generated paper motion when the Code V Graphics
Free Format command is disabled.

Mode.
