MENU ITEM
Function
Marks the beginning of a sequence of commands
that will execute when the user selects the item
from a programmed printer menu, and (optionally)
defines text the printer will display when offering
the menu to the user. The printer will send this text
to the serial port when processing the stored menu,
allowing the user to select the item either by item
number or by menu scrolling.
Explicit Form
MENU ITEM “prompt”
Implicit Form
MU ITEM “prompt”
Parameters
"prompt"
is ASCII text that the printer will send
to the serial port when the printer encounters the
MENU ITEM
command. Any printable ASCII
character is allowed. Begin and end the text with
quotation marks ("). If you wish to include quoted
text within the prompt, precede each quotation
mark within the prompt with a backslash (\). To
include a backslash within the prompt, use two
backslashes (\\).
If no prompt is desired, enter two sets of quotation
marks ("") with no text or spaces between them. The
menu item will still exist and may be called by
number (see below), but no prompt or space will
appear for the item when the printer processes the
MENU ITEM
command.
