2.10.1 macro

The DEClaser 1100 printer (PPL3) macro feature allows you to select an

environment for local compatibility. It assigns the proper user preference

character set, enables/disables the initialization message, and specifies

the return response (device identification) when a Device Attributes (DA)

request is received. The macro feature is slightly different from other menu

features because three parameters (user preference character set, initialization

message, and device ID) are

added together

to determine the macro value. The

user preference, initialization message, and device ID values cannot be selected

independently; they must be added together to form the macro value. See

Section A.2 for more macro information.
After changing the macro number, you must press

Reset

to invoke the change.

See Table 2–1 for more information.
