• This command deletes all macros from the printer’s memory.
7.4.2. Delete all temporary macros
Esc&f7X (27)(38)(102)(55)(88) <1Bh><26h><66h><37h><58h>
• This command deletes all temporary macros from the printer’s memory. Temporary macros are those which
have not been made permanent with the Esc&f10X command.
7.4.3. Delete macro
Esc&f8X (27)(38)(102)(56)(88) <1Bh><26h><66h><38h><58h>
• This command deletes from printer memory the macro whose ID number was specified most recently.
7.4.4. Make macro temporary
Esc&f9X (27)(38)(102)(57)(88) <1Bh><26h><66h><39h><58h>
• This command makes the macro whose ID number was specified most recently temporary (that is, it will not
be retained if the printer is reset).
7.4.5. Make macro permanent
Esc&f10X (27)(38)(102)(49)(48)(88) <1Bh><26h><66h><31h><30h><58h>
