Now the variable data may serially be sent to the file. It may be the difference between

To read a file that has previously been sent to the printer, use the ^AX^D54

command, where ^AX denotes the file (slot #) to be read. The printer will send the file
to the serial port. If you are using a terminal or terminal utility, the file will be sent to
your screen.
Sample files: File #1 initiates the save format file memory and downloads saved format
file #1. File #1 includes all the fixed data on the label. File #2 is the file that initiates
processing of file #1 and includes all variable data for the format. File #2 also prints the
label.
File #3 shows how a second saved format would look. The data and processing
commands for file #3 are contained in file #4.
NOTE: <ESC> = 1B hex or ESCAPE character
