[Name]
Start / end macro definition.
[Format]
ASCII
Hex
Decimal
[Description]
Starts or ends macro definition.
[Notes]
• Macro definition starts when this command is received during normal operation.
• When the command $1D $5E is received during macro definition, the printer ends the
macro definitions and clears all definitions.
• Macro not defined when the power is turned on.
• The defined contents of the macro are not cleared by the command $1B $40.
Therefore, $1B $40 can be included in the contents of the macro definitions.
• If the printer receives the command $1D $3A again immediately after previously
receiving $1D $3A, the printer remains in the macro undefined state.
• The contents of the macro can be defined up to 1024 bytes. If the macro definition
exceeds 1024 bytes, the excess data is not not stored.
