oR Command - Character Substitution (Euro)
The oR command is a global printer command.
❏
It can not be issued inside of a form.
❏
It must be issued prior to issuing a text com
-
mand (and printing).
❏
Effects a single character on a single code
page. Changing the character position will
restore the original character.
❏
The character substitution is saved like
printer configuration parameters (Density,
Serial Port Data Rate, Options, etc.).
❏
Flash memory printer parameter data is pre
-
served until it is changed by the oR com-
mand or reprogramming of the printer.
❏ SRAM memory storage printer parameter
data is lost when the memory cartridge is for-
matted or the battery power is removed. The
character substitution will remain until it is
changed by the oR command or the memory
cartridge is exchanged.
Example:
oRE¿ : Places the Euro character into character
: map position 213 decimal
: (D5 hexadecimal)
oRE,128¿ : Places the Euro into character map
: position 128 decimal (80 hexadecimal)
oR¿ : Clears Character Substitution,
: Restores default character maps
