MENU COMMANDS

Menu Programming

Menus generally conform to the following structure:

! 0 0 0 0

MENU CONTROL cn nx pr sl

MENU START x menuname

MENU ITEM "item1"

MENU ACTION command parameters

MENU EXIT

MENU ITEM "item2"

MENU ACTION command parameters

MENU ITEM "item3"

MENU ACTION command parameters

...

MENU END

END

MENU CONTROL is an optional command that defines the four keyboard

keys that scroll the menu, select menu items, and exit the menu. If

used, it must appear before the MENU START command. MENU START

signals the beginning of the menu, and MENU END signals the end of the

menu. All commands bounded by MENU START and MENU END define

menu prompts and actions.

MENU ACTIONs generally follow MENU ITEMs. If no MENU ITEMs are

present, the menu will simply execute the MENU ACTIONs in sequence

without input from the operator. The effect is similar to using a stored

label format.

MENU EXIT commands will terminate execution of the current menu, at

which time the printer will continue executing the remaining

commands in the label format that called the menu.

Menus cannot be nested within other menus, but they can call other

menus.

Menus are stored objects. They must be stored in memory before they

are called by the Recall Menu command. They follow all of the usual

rules for stored objects.
