Executes a macro. After waiting for a specified period the LED indicators blink and the
printer waits for the Paper Feed Button to be pressed. After the button is pressed, the
printer executes the macro once. The printer repeats this operation the number of specified
times.
When the macro is executed by pressing the Paper Feed Button (m = 1), paper cannot be
fed by using the Paper Feed Button.
Formulas:
The waiting time is t x 100 msec for every macro execution.
m specifies macro executing mode when the LSB (Least significant bit) m = 0
The macro executes r times continuously at the interval specified by t when the LSB (Least
significant bit) of m = 1.
Example:

Exceptions:
If this command is received while a macro is being defined, the macro definition is aborted
and the definition is cleared.
If the macro is not defined or if r is 0, nothing is executed.
