Exercise 5 • Saving a template to memory. ^IS and image save and image load.
1. Send this format to the printer:

In this way the template only needs to be sent one time to the printer’s memory. Subsequent
formats can be sent recalling the template and merging variable data into the template. In this
exercise, the file was saved in the printers
R: memory, which is volatile.
