n The macro control code
The last of our group of miscellaneous codes is definitely not
the least. It is a user-defined control code, called a macro control
code. The term macro is from the jargonese macro-instruction
which refers to an instruction that “calls,” or uses a group of nor-
mal instructions. In computer programming macro-instructions
(which are similar to subroutines) save programmers a lot of
time and effort. Your printer’s macro can save you a lot of time
and effort also.
