[. . . ] · While switch operation is waited at the execution of macro, the FEED switch is always enabled regardless of the setting of this command but no paper feed operation is carried out. n=0 [Default] [Sample Program] LPRINT CHR$(&H1B);"c5"; CHR$(0); When enabling the FEED switch LPRINT CHR$(&H1B);"c5"; CHR$(1); When disabling the FEED switch - 66 - 2. 2. 9 Macro Commands GS : [Function] [Code] [Outline] Starting/ending macro definition <1D>H<3A>H Specifying starting/ending macro definition. Reception of this command during macro definition signifies ending the macro definition. · Maximum content available for macro definition is 2048 bytes. · When GS ^ is processed in macro definition, the macro definition is stopped and the content of definition is cleared. · Even with ESC @ (Initialization of the printer) having been executed, defined content is not cleared. Therefore, it is possible to include ESC @ into the content of macro definition. · Normal printing operation is carried out even during macro definition. [Default] [See Also] [Sample Program] LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);":"; LPRINT "+------+"; CHR$(&HA); LPRINT "| |"; CHR$(&HA); LPRINT "+------+"; CHR$(&HA); LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);":"; LPRINT CHR$(&H1D);"^"; LPRINT CHR$(2); CHR$(10); [Print Results] +--------+ | | +--------+ +--------+ | | +--------+ +--------+ | | +--------+ Normal printing during macro definition The initial value is not defined. GS ^ [Caution] 2048 Printing during macro execution - 67 - GS ^ n1 n2 n3 [Function] [Code] [Range] Executing the macro <1D>H<5E>H<n1><n2><n3> 0n1255 0n2255 0n31 Executing contents defined in macro. n1 : The number of times of macro execution n2 : Waiting time on macro execution: Waiting time of n2 x 100 msec is given for every execution. For STANDARD MODE: · If "d" is out of the range, only a paper feed is executed, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. · If the bar code is wider than the print area for one line, the bar code is not printed, but only a paper feed is executed. · The amount of paper feed corresponds to the height of the bar code (including the HRI characters if HRI character printing is specified), irrespective of the line feed width set by a command such as ESC 2 or ESC 3. · This command only works if no data exists in the print buffer. If any data exists in the print buffer, the data subsequent to "m" is handled as normal data. · After the bar code is printed, the beginning of the line is taken as the start position for the next print. · This command is not affected by any print modes (emphasis, double strike, underline, and character size), except for the inverted character mode. For PAGE MODE: · This command only maps the bar code, without performing a printout. After the bar code is mapped, the dot next to the last data item of the bar code is taken as the start position for the next data mapping. · If "d" is out of the range, the processing of the command is aborted, and the subsequent data is handled as normal data. · If the bar code is wider than the print area, the bar code is not printed, but the data mapping start position is moved to the left end of the non-print area. - 74 - [Description of Bar Codes] UPC-A This bar code, consisting of numerals only, has a fixed length of 12 columns; a 11column number entered from the host or application software plus a check digit (12th column) automatically calculated inside the printer. [. . . ] Supplementary explanation: Even when ON is selected, the printer is in the BUSY state at Power ON, at the use of Reset through I/F, and at self-printing. Printer Status Offline At Power ON, at the use of Reset through I/F During self printing At cover open During paper feed by FEED SW At Paper End (Including Print Stop with PNE) At the occurrence of error At the Standby state during macro execution by FEED SW At receive buffer full MSW1-3 OFF MSW1-3 ON -- -- -- -- -- Buffer full [Default] OFF(0) [Full/Err] ·MSW 1-4: Data Processing at the occurrence of receive error [Function] Printer with serial interface detects Framing error, Overrun error, and Parity error of received data.
