%
(ISO or ASCII code)
or
ER
(EIA code)
Description
A block containing only a “%” must appear at the start of the data. No other word should be specified within a block in which “%” or “
ER ” is specified. This notifies the machine of the start (or end) of the data. When it is present at the end of the data, its effect varies
according to the data-transmission method. When data is temporarily saved in the PNC-3200's buffer ("Edit"), data registration ends
automatically. When cutting is performed as data is being received ("Execute Cutting"), it is ignored. The data start character is “%” if
ISO or ASCII is in use as the character code system, of “ ER ” if EIA is in use.
Be sure to specify either “%” or “ ER ” at the beginning of the program. All programs are ignored until the data start is specified.
