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,

Executes a macro. After waiting for a specified period the LED indicators blink and the

fed by using the Paper Feed Button.

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. 
  Example: 
  MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1D) & Chr$(&H5E) & Chr$(r) & Chr$(t) & Chr$(m)
