MENU ITEM

Function

Marks the beginning of a sequence of commands

that will execute when the user selects the item
from a programmed printer menu, and (optionally)

defines text the printer will display when offering
the menu to the user. The printer will send this text

to the serial port when processing the stored menu,
allowing the user to select the item either by item

number or by menu scrolling.

Explicit Form

MENU ITEM “prompt”

Implicit Form

MU ITEM “prompt”

Parameters

"prompt"

is ASCII text that the printer will send

to the serial port when the printer encounters the
MENU ITEM

command. Any printable ASCII

character is allowed. Begin and end the text with

quotation marks ("). If you wish to include quoted

text within the prompt, precede each quotation
mark within the prompt with a backslash (\). To

include a backslash within the prompt, use two
backslashes (\\).
If no prompt is desired, enter two sets of quotation
marks ("") with no text or spaces between them. The

menu item will still exist and may be called by

number (see below), but no prompt or space will
appear for the item when the printer processes the
MENU ITEM

command.
