MENU COMMANDS

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.
