•Regular printing is cperformed even during macro definition

(38)Macro Execution (GS^ n1 n2 n3)

Code : [1D]h + [5E]h + n1 + n2 + n3

*{0 ≤ n1 ≤ FF} {0 ≤ n2 ≤ FF}

{0 ≤ n3 ≤ 1} The data is described with the hexadecimal code

Executing what is defined as macr o.

•The following describes n1 through n3:

n1 : Macro execution times

n2	: Wait time at macro execution. Wait for n2 ⋅ 100 msec for each execution.
n3	: Macro execution mode
	n3	Mode

0Continuous execution

1Execution by the paper feed switch

Continuous execution	: The macro is executed n1 times continuously at the time intervals
	specified by n2.
Execution by the paper
Feed switch	: After waiting for lapse of time specified by n2, the ERROR LED flickers
	and the paper feed switch is waited to be pressed. When it is pressed, the
	macro is executed once. This action is repeated n1 times.
