4.5.5.1 Macro
The macro feature allows you to select an environment for local
compatibility. It specifies the return response (device identification) when
a Device Attributes (DA) request is received, and assigns the proper User
Preference character set. The macro feature is slightly different from other
menu features because two parameters (device ID and user preference
character set) are added together to determine the macro value. The device
ID and user preference values cannot be selected independently, they must
be added together to form the macro value.
The DEClaser 2100 printer can identify itself as a Digital ANSI-compliant
level 3 printer, and therefore can be recognized as such by symbionts and
terminal drivers that conform to Digital’s ANSI-compliant architecture.
This identification is also compatible with level 2 devices since all level
2 sequences are also supported.
You can also select an LN03 identification for applications that require the
printer to identify itself as an LN03 printer. For example, the DECmate
word processing system requires an LN03 device identification. The device
identification values are shown in Table 4–13.
