specified macro number. This macro will be temporary; to
make it permanent use <ES0 &f 10X after your
deftition.The printer will make a macro of the sequence of
commands that follow this one, until it gets the command to
stop defining the macro.

Execute macro. This option makes the printer run the last
specified macro, changing printer parameters according to
what its commands say. (The printer parameters am those you
might also set from the front panel.) When the macm is done,
the print position will be just where it was before you ran the
macro.
Call macro. This option also makes the printer run the last
specified macro. But before it nms the macro it saves the
current parameters, and then restores them when the macro is
finished. Again, when the macro is done the print position will
be just where it was before you ran the macro.
Turn on automatic macro. This option automatically runs the
last specified macm on every page you print, You can use this
option to reproduce the same design on each page (a logo or
form design pernaps). You can have more than one automatic
macro. As with the “call macro” option, this one saves current
parameters and print position, and restores them when the
macro is finished. An automatic macm will terminate if you
change orientation or page length.
Turn off automatic macro. Starting with the current page, this
option tenninates’the last specified automatic macro.
Delete all macros. This option removes all macros and auto-
matic macros from printer memory- even macros you have
defined as permanent with option 10 below.
Delete temporary macros. This option also deletes temporary
automatic macros.
