^XF
Recall Format
Description: The ^XF command recalls a stored format to be merged with variable
data. There can be multiple ^XF commands and they can be located anywhere in the
label format.
When recalling a stored format and merging data utilizing the ^FN (Field Number)
function, the calling format must contain the ^FN command to properly merge the
data.
While use of stored formats will reduce transmission time, no formatting time is
saved since the ZPL II format being recalled was saved as text strings which need to
be formatted at print time.
