M/m Commands - Multiple Command
Description Groups and repeats a string of commands “N”
times. “M” differs from “m” only regarding the re
-
sponse to errors. Errors encountered during com
-
mands linked by “m” commands abort any
remaining commands, while M-linked commands
resume after error removal.
Note that Max3000s perform best with this kind of
command linking for the print-related commands
(see Appendix E).
Syntax
M p1c1[c2[c3...[c
n
↵
Parameters p1 = Number of times to repeat following command string.
C
1~Cn =
Series of linked commands repeated p1 times. Note the
square bracket ([) delimiters.
Example This example shows an “M” command used to
group and repeat four commands.
M
3MI[ !D[ !M[MO↵
The “M” command groups a command string. A
card loads to the print ready position with the “MI”
command. “!D” lowers the print head; “!M” raises
the print head, and “MO” sends the card to the out
-
put tray.
The “M” command specifies three repeats of this se
-
quence. If an error occurs (e.g., the input hopper
runs out of cards) a command sequence linked by
the “M” command terminates. In contrast, after er
-
ror correction and an associated pressing of the
Panel Button, a command sequence linked by the
“m” command resumes.
