(52) Starting and ending a macro definition (GS :)
Code: [1D] h + [3A] h
This command specifies starting and ending of a macro definition.
Up to 2048 bytes can be used as contents in defining a macro. Any portion where
this 2048 bytes is exceeded is not defined.
The definition contents are not cleared even when ESC @ (printer initiation) is
executed, so ESC @ can be included in the contents of a macro definition.
Ordinary printing operations can be executed in the middle of macro definition.
A “macro” is a string of commands corresponding to the user's purpose, taken
from the control commands of this printer, which are arranged to form a single
command in order to carry out daily operations efficiently. They can be used in
exactly the same way as existing commands can be used.
