This command allows the user experienced in using macro commands to insert a macro into
specific locations in the print job. An advanced user may choose to use this feature to embed a
PRESCRIBE command that will call a macro to overlay PRESCRIBE form data or a graphic
object, such as a logo or a signature, at a specific point in the print job.
• This function embeds the PRESCRIBE command in the document. This allows execution
of macros that contain settings such as printer emulation and foreign characters or overlays.
• Insert Location specifies the location for burying the PRESCRIBE command, such as at
the start or end of the document.
