Hex 1D 3A
Decimal 29 58
[Range]
[Description] Starts or ends macro defi nition.
[Notes] • Macro defi nition starts when this command is received during normal operation.
• When $1D $5E is received during macro defi nition, the printer ends macro defi nition
and clears all defi nitions.
• Macros are not defi ned when power is turned on to the machine.
• Macro content is not cancelled by the $1B $40 command. Therefore, $1B $40 may be
included in the content of macro defi nitions.
• If the printer receives $1D $3A a second time after previously receiving $1D $3A, the
printer remains in macro undefi ned status.
• The contents of the macro can be defi ned up to 1024 bytes. If the macro defi nition
exceeds 1024 bytes, excess data is not stored.
