4.5.5.2 Examples Using the Macro Feature

The examples in Table 4–15 demonstrate how to determine the macro value.

Table 4–15: Macro Feature Examples

Character Set	Device ID	Macro Value
and Value	and Value	Total
JIS Katakana (2)	Level 3 (00)	02
DEC Technical (6)	Level 3 (00)	06
DEC Supplemental (0)	LN03 (10)	10

4.5.5.3 Paint Mode (paint)

The paint mode (paint) feature instructs the printer to reserve memory space for one or two full bitmap pages, or not to allocate any bitmapped memory space for page printing. Since printer memory is shared with both fonts and page drawings, it is usually desirable to let the printer allocate the memory dynamically, because even full-page sixel images often print in partial paint mode. You should enable the printer to direct the memory allocation mechanism only in the following situations:

•If you are receiving error messages about page complexity—for example, 21 COMPLEX DATA.

•If pages are breaking incorrectly—for example, half the page prints on one sheet and the second half on the next sheet.

See Table 4–12 for a complete description of the paint mode values.

4.5.5.4 Paper Size (paper)

The paper (size) feature determines the printable area on the page. It is only used in manual feed mode when no other command (escape sequence) has been received to specify paper size. See Section 2.7 for additional information about manually feeding media.
