Value of r : The number of times to execute the macro.
Value of t : The waiting time for executing the macro.
Value of m : Macro executing mode
0 (Bit0): The Macro executes r times continuously
with waiting time specified by t .
1 (Bit0): The printer waits for feed button to be
pressed after waiting for the period
specified by
t . If the button is pressed,
the printer executes the macro once. The

m = 1), paper cannot be
fed by using the Paper Feed Button.
Formulas:
The waiting time is t x 100 msec for every macro execution.
m specifies macro executing mode when the LSB (Least significant bit) m = 0
The macro executes r times continuously at the interval specified by t when the LSB (Least
significant bit) of m = 1.
