/1 FUNCTION

O(zero) Start defining macro. Creates a new macro with the last specified macro number. This macro will be temporary; to make it perma- nent use <ESC> &f 10X after your definition. The printer will make a macro of the sequence of commands that follow this one, until it gets the command to stop defining the macro.

1 (one) Stop defining macro.

2Execute macro. This option makes the printerrun the last specified macro, changing printer parameters according to what its com- mands say. (The printer parameters are those you might also set from the control panel.) When the macro is done, the print position will be just where it was before you ran the macro.

3Call macro. This option also makes the printer run the last specified macro. But before it runs the macro it saves the current parameters, and then restores them when the macro is finished. Again, when the macro is done the print position will be just where it was before you ran the macro.

4Turn on automatic macro. This option automatically runs the last specified macro on every page you print. You can use this option to reproduce the same design on each page (a logo or form design perhaps). You can have more than one automatic macro. As with the “call macro” option, this one saves current parameters and print position, and restores them when the macro is finished. An automatic macro will terminate if you change orientation or page length.

5Turn off automatic macro. “Startingwith the current page, this option terminates the last specified automatic macro.

6Delete all macros. This option removes all macros and automatic macros from printer memory — even macros you have defined as permanent with option 10 below.
