Viewing a Printer's Loaded Macros

The Loaded Macros screen displays a list of a printer's stored macros.

You can use macros to save form overlay data that is the same for each printing in printer memory. Speed increases, because the data, often large, does not have to be sent again each time.

When macro logic is enabled and a unique form is printed for the first time, the system saves the form overlay data as a macro. Subsequent prints recall the macro using a print sequence. A printer may have up to 20 macros. The system imposes this arbitrary limit due to limited printer memory. After this number, any new macro will overwrite the least used macro in the list.

To view a printer's loaded macros:

1. From the System > System Files > Printer Setup menu, select Assign Printer/Fax to display the Assign Printer/Fax screen.

2. In the Printer/Fax # field, enter the ID of the printer whose macro information you want to view.

3. Use the Show Macros hot key to display the Loaded Macros screen.

The screen displays the following information for each macro loaded on the printer:

4.  Press Esc to return to the Assign Printer/Fax screen.
