dynamic data for the variable fields can be sent

following termination of the completed Dynamic

Comments Dynamic form commands allow a designated form to be

transmitted once. The data that changes with each form is

provided in the variable data fields after the Dynamic Form

command is terminated. Variable fields can include bar code data

fields.

The Dynamic Form commands consist of the primary Dynamic

Form command referenced above, which enables dynamic form

generation, and three additional commands listed. These

additional commands are added to the primary command

according to your particular dynamic form requirements:

• Dynamic Form Field Length (defined on page 56) specifies the number

of data bytes expected to fill a variable data field.

• Dynamic Form Copy Fields (defined on page 58) copies fields within the

form.

• Dynamic Form Repeat Form (defined on page 60) repeats the complete

form.
