Using Format Files
The DEFINE-FORMAT and USE-FORMAT commands are used to identify format and data respectively.
Format files eliminate having to re-send the same format information for every label printed. By using a
pre-loaded format, only variable data (such as descriptions, price, etc.) is sent to the printer.
