4.5.5.1 Macro
The macro feature allows you to select an environment for local
compatibility. It assigns the proper User Preference character set,
enables/disables the initialization message, and specifies a return response
(device identification) when a Device Attributes (DA) request is received.
The macro feature is slightly different from other menu features because
three parameters (device ID, initialization message, and User Preference
character set) are
added together
to determine the macro value. The device
ID, initialization message, and user preference values cannot be selected
independently, they must be added together to form the macro value.
The macro feature allows you to choose the User Preference character set for
your application or system. Consult the Digital ANSI-Compliant Printing
Protocol Level 3 Programming Reference Manual for more information
about the user preference sets. Table 4–13 lists the user preference
character sets and their values.

The initialization message is sent to connected devices (when the printer is
powered on or reset from the control panel) to indicate that the printer is
reinitializing. The feature is designed for use with future applications and
should be set to disabled at this time. Consult the Digital ANSI-Compliant
Printing Protocol Level 3 Programming Reference Manual for additional
information about this feature.
