SG-IO/l5 is a multi-lingual printer for it can speak in eight languages! SG- lo/ 15 changes languages by changing 11 char- acters that are different for the different languages. These sets of characters are called international character sets. The control codes to select the international character sets are given in Table 8-5.

The characters that change are shown beneath their ASCII code in Table 8-6.

nThe macro control code

The last of our group of miscellaneous control codes is definitely

Lnot the least. It is a user-definedcontrol code, called a macro

control code. The term macro is from the jargonese macro-instructionwhich refers to an instruction that “calls,” or uses a group of normal instructions. In computer programming

macro-instructions (which are similar to subroutines) save pro- grammers a lot of time and effort. SG-10/15’s macro can save

-.you a lot of time and effort also.

._-

Here is how SG-10/15’s macro works. You define your macro

I,._..by telling SG- 10/l 5 what normal control codes are to be included in the macro. Then you can use the macro any time that you

L

want and SG-lo/15 will do all the things that you included in the macro definition. You can include up to 16 codes in a single macro. You can even use the macro to store a frequently used word or phrase. There are two control codes for the macro: one to define it, and one to use it. They are given in the Table 8-7.

To see how this works we can build a macro that will reset the printing style to normal, no matter what style it may be to start with. The following program will define a macro to do this.
