ESC+&S (Store Form Overlay) — SBPL Command Reference

Plain English

Stores the current label design as a form overlay in the printer's memory. A form overlay is like a template — the static parts of your label (logos, borders, fixed text) that don't change. You can recall it later with ESC+&R and only send the variable data.

When to use

When you have a label format that gets printed many times with only some fields changing. Storing the overlay reduces data sent to the printer for each label.
