Colour 0 (black) is normally used where black objects must be printed on a white back-
ground. Colour 2 (inverted) is used when white articles must be printed on a black back-
ground : in this case the background must be created first (the
/M
command can be used
to design a black box ). Colour 1 (white) is normally used in special cases to design white
lines on a black background thereby avoiding problems which exist at the intersections if
colour 2 is used.

/Tn
The
/T
command is used to change between fonts in RAM and EPROM.
It must be followed by a single parameter which can be 0 or 1.
e.g.
E0100100T0F111prova
will write “prova” in position 100,100 with font 1 expansion x=1 y=1. this font is obtained
from the EPROM.
E0100100T1F111prova
will write “prova” in position 100,100 with font 1 expansion x=1 y=1. this font is ob-
tained from the RAM. The fonts in the standard RAM are the so-called proportionately
spaced fonts but these fonts can redesigned or replaced as the need arises.

/Umm o /Uddffffffff
The
/U
command is used to recall a "macro". A "macro" is a sequence of commands , for
example a complete label,. The macro can be memorised in a FLASH, however there are
some macros which are memorised by default in the EPROM e.g. macro U00. The macro
U00 is a test label used to verify the configuration of the printer.
It must be followed by 2 characters which, depending on the value, can be followed by 8
characters having the following significance:
mm
Macro number, 2 digits (values: from 00 to 99). The
test label is printed with 00 otherwise the corre-
sponding macro allocated in the flash memory (if
present) will be executed.
dd
Identifies the source of the data, 2 characters
(values: A: or B:).
A: refers to the eprom which contains some macros
defined in the factory.
B: refers to the FLASH (optional) for ST3xx series.
C: refers to the FLASH (optional) for ST4xx ST5xx
series.
Refer to the relevant section for a more detailed
explanation of the macros.
f..
f
Macro name, 8 characters (any DOS file name without
extension) .Obviously only file names which corre-
spond to macros existing in the memory otherwise
nothing will be loaded. If the macro name is less
