[Description]
Starts or ends macro definition.
[Notes]
• Macro definition starts when this command is received dur-
ing normal operation.
• When GS ^ is received during macro definition, the printer
ends macro definition and clears all definitions.
• Macros are not defined when power is turned on to the ma-
chine.
• Macro content is not cancelled by the ESC @ command.
Therefore, ESC @ may be included in the content of macro
definitions.
• If the printer receives GS : a second time after previously
receiving GS :, the printer remains in macro undefined status.
• The contents of the macro can be defined up to 2048
bytes. If the macro definition exceeds 2048 bytes, excess
data is not stored.
