35) Macro definition, start and end | :<< GS : >> | |
Code | : < 1D >h + < 3A >h | |
Description | : Assigns Macro definition start and end. The size of data defined by Macro | |
is up to 1,024 bytes. Exceeding to 1,024 byte cannot be defined.
*Defined Macros cannot be cleared by “Printer initialization”. Therefore “printer initialization” can be included in the Macro definition.
*During the Macro definition, printing can be proceeded.
*Once Macro is defined, the contents become effective until software is reset, power is set off, or INIT signal is input.
36)Macro execution :<< GS ^ n1 n2 n3 >>
Code | : < 1D >h + < 5E >h + n1 + n2 + n3 * < 0≤n1≤FF >h |
| * < 00≤n2≤FF >h |
| * < 00≤n3≤01 >h |
Description | : Executes Macros being defined |
*The definitions of n1, n2 and n3 are: n1 : times of Macro execution
n2 : wait time of Macro execution
At every execution, there is a wait time of n2 x 100msec.
n3 : Macro execution mode
n3Mode
00 Consecutive execution
01 Execution by FEED switch
zConsecutive execution: Executes “n1” times with a wait time specified at n2.
zFEED switch execute: After a time specified at n2, waits for PE LED blinks and the FEED switch depressed. After FEED switch is pressed, it executes Macro once. This action is repeated by n1 times.
*If the printer receives this command during Macro definition, it stops Macro definition. If this happened, defined Macros are cleared.
*Nothing happens if Macro is not defined or n1 = 0.
*During Macro execution with n3 = 1, line feed by FEED switch is disabled.

*If printer is not in “no selection” status, printer will discard all received data until it is in the selection status by this command.
*Even if printer is in no selection status, the status may become BUSY by printer operation.
*The default value of “n” is [01]h.
