MENU ACTION
Function
Specifies one or more commands that the printer
will execute when the user selects the associated
MENU ITEM
. Any legitimate printer commands are
allowed (including the Recall Menu command).
The printer commands and associated parameters
embedded within the MENU ACTION command
must be bounded by quotation marks.
Explicit Form
MENU ACTION “command parameters
Implicit Form
MU ACTION “command parameters”
Parameters
command
Any legitimate printer command
parameters
Parameters required by command
Comments
Quotation marks (") must precede and follow the
command and its parameters. If you want to
include quoted text within the command, precede
each quotation mark within the command with a
backslash (\). To include a backslash within the
command, use two backslashes (\\). Indicate the
end of the command line with \n. This is the
character substitution for line feed. To send a
carriage return without line feed, use \r.
You can place any number of MENU ACTION
commands after one MENU ITEM command. The
printer will process all MENU ACTIONs that follow
the selected MENU ITEM until it encounters the
next MENU ITEM. Thus, the printer can execute
complex operations using multiple MENU ACTIONs,
but the most common use of the command is to call
another menu or recall a stored label format.
