The procedure for changing the MACRO 1 and MACRO 2 options are presented in
the previous sections of this chapter.
Macro 1 and Macro 2 Options and Values
Overprinted values are the factory settings.
Some settings are overridden by commands from the computer.
Options that differ by protocol are described at the end of the table.
Macro1/Macro 2 Values Description
<PROTOCOL>
DEC PPL2
IBM PPX24
EPSON ESCP
AUTO
PORT DEPND
Select the same protocol as that selected
by your software.
DEC PPL2 printers
– IBM Proprinter X24E printers (LA48N)
– IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA48W)
Epson printers using the ESC/P2 protocol
The printer automatically senses the active
protocol. This is useful when you use vari-
ous applications in a DOS or network envi-
ronment and cannot determine the
protocol. The efficiency of this function
relies on the recognition of control
sequences that are protocol specific. If
such control sequences are not detected
in the data string received, the printer may
fail to determine the proper protocol, pro-
viding an unexpected result.
The printer selects a protocol according to
the active interface (parallel, serial or
USB). See the next options.
<PRTCL SERL>
(Protocol Serial)
DEC PPL2
IBM PPX24
EPSON ESCP
Select a protocol for the serial interface.
This is invalid and skipped when PORT
DEPND is not selected for the
<PROTOCOL> option.
DEC PPL2 printers (factory setting for
Macro 1 and Macro 2).

– IBM Proprinter XL24E printers (LA48W)
