For the # symbol, substitute a number that identifies the macro. Make sure this command precedes all IOGL commands. Also, be aware that PCL is case-sensitive.

At the end of the IOGL routine, stop the macro and save it permanently (until the printer is powered down) in the printer’s memory. To end the macro, type: ¬E&f#y1X

To save the macro permanently

(until the printer is powered down) type: ¬E&f#y10X. Store this macro in the printer’s memory by “printing” it.

A call for this macro can be used in your application by embedding the following PCL command in the application code: ¬E&f#y3X

Another command that can be used to prevent overloading the printer’s memory is ¬E&f#y8X. This command deletes the macro ID # that currently resides in the printer’s memory.

It is often advantageous to include images such as company logos or signatures with printed output. Logos and other images can be stored on printer cartridges or “Flash” SIMMs, offered through the printer manufacturer and/or various third party vendors. While the process of loading the cartridge or SIMM differs, the final result is the same. The stored image is assigned a macro ID number that must be called up by the application when the image is to be printed. Please refer to the documentation supplied with the cartridge or SIMM for instructions on how to store an image.

Generally, a macro stored in non- volatile memory is called up by sending the command ¬E&f#y3X, where # is the macro ID.
