4.5.5.1 Macro
The 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.
The macro feature allows you to choose the user preference character set
appropriate for your application or system. Consult the Digital ANSI-
Compliant Printing Protocol Level 3 Programming Reference Manual for
more information about the user preference sets. Table 4–13 lists the user
preference character sets and their values.
