DESCRIPTION OF THE RD-GL II COMMAND
40,40 [TERM]
These two parameters indicate that the DPX-3300 has 40 plotter units within a
1 mm
x
1 mm area of both X- and Y-axis directions, [TERM] is the output terminator
of RS-232C, For more information, see "ESC.M Command" of
8.4.1
"Handshake
Mode Commands" in CHAPTER 8,
Remember: For the actual use in a program, you must have opened the RS-232C

• Function:
The OH command outputs to the computer the coordinate values at the lower left

• Format:
OH [Terminator]

When receiving the OH command, the DPX-3300 outputs the integer coordinate values
of LL and UR in ASCII as follows:
XLL, YLL, XUR, YUR [TERM]
