Changing Macro 1 and Macro 2 Options

The

MACRO 1

and

MACRO 2

functions allow you to use two sets of different print options

according to your application software. You can easily switch between

MACRO 1

and

MACRO

2

in Normal mode as described in Chapter 3 “Printing.”

With the factory setting,

MACRO 1

is invoked when you first turn the printer on. The Macro

selection changed is permanently retained in the printer.
Select the same protocol on the printer as is selected in your software. If the protocols are

not the same, the printer will not work correctly with your software. If you plan to use two

different protocols on a regular basis, assign the most frequently used protocol to

MACRO 1

.

Assign the second protocol to

MACRO 2

. All of the other settings available for

MACRO 1

and

MACRO 2

are optional. Some of the options and values will vary with the protocol.

To determine which features your software supports, refer to your software documentation.
The following table describes the

MACRO 1

and

MACRO 2

options and values. Both

functions offer the same options and values. The options in the table are listed in the order

in which they are printed. Not all options are defined for all protocols and some values

vary with the protocol.
For the procedure for changing the

MACRO 1

and

MACRO 2

options, see the previous

sections in this chapter.
