OUTLINE
The Basic Interpreter Mode can execute the printer’s program in BASIC format enabling
applications such as performing stand alone printing. Since the emulation content is different,
there is limitation in the application command which will be described in the manual.
BASIC INTERPRETER OVERVIEW
SPECIAL NOTES
• SEMBL-BASIC has changed the partial specification based on ZBI of the ZEBRA. Details
may be found in the Instruction Reference.
• Input is performed at the half-sized alphanumeric character ASCII Code in accordance with
ANSI.
• The valid code range is 2016, 7E16, and partial control code. The valid control code is only
CR(0D16), LF(0A16, ETX(0316), and BS(0816). Other control codes will be ignored after receipt
and HT(0916) will also be thrown out. There is not a code limitation in the string quote and
CHR$().
• When 2 byte code and half-sized code (8016 . FF16) at shiftout side is used for the LCD
display data string, it might not be generated correctly.
• Command input and parameters that accompany the command will not differentiate between
upper and lower case. When command and command parameter are entered in lower case,
or with the mixture of upper and lower, it will be interpreted similarly as if it is upper case.
• Numeric mark has the following limitation:
• Other than decimal numeral, numeral marks of hexdecimal, octal, and binary is
applicable.
• Only positive and negative integral numbers may be used. Fractions cannot be
assigned.
• As for hexadecimal, the lower case mark is allowed in A thru F.
NUMERAL DESCRIPTION METHOD EXAMPLE
Decimal
10
Data string that is composed by
using numeric of 0 thru 9.
1021, -5, 0
Hexidecimal
16
Data string that is composed by
using both numeric &H. 0 thru
9 and alphabet A thru F.
&H3FD, &H8005, -&H5, &H0
&H8005 and -&H5 shows the same value
Octal
8
Data string that is composed by
numeric of &O. 0 thru 7
&O1775, &O700005, -&O5, &O0
&O700005 and -&O5 shows the same
value
Binary
2
Data string that is composed by
numeric of &B. 0 thru 1
&B001111111101,
&B1000000000000101, &B101, &B0

SATO GT4xxe SEMBL User Guide PN 9001148A Page 2
• Integral numbers will be single-precision real numbers. Double-precision and
exponent mark is not allowed.
• The valid range of numerical value is -2147483647 thru 2147483637 (with code 4 byte value:
-7FFFFFFF16 thru -7FFFFFFF16). When the valid range is exceeded, a rounded interpretation
within the valid range will be provided, but perhaps without the expected result.
• The maximum quantity of the digits for character string is 256. An error will appear if
exceeding the valid range.
• The definable number of numeric variable is at maximum 256.
• The definable number of string variable is at maximum 256.
• Both numeric variables and string variables can define the one-dimensional and two
dimensional arrays in the variable. In either case, the definable array element number is
defined in the number.
• Variable name is valid to 8 digits. Length exceeding 8 digits is interpreted by rounding off to 8
digits beginning at variable definition.
• Variable identifier distenguishes the upper and lower cases. In other words, variable WORK
and work, Work is all treated as other variable.
• Please assign the priority order by putting parenthesis at logical operation above 3 items:
e.g..IF (A = B) OR (A = C). 1 thru 32767.
• The line number is valid to 5 digits, and can be assigned with a range of 1 . 32767.
• The maximum times a line number can be programmed is 1000.
• The file number limit is that which can be stored in the extended memory cartridge. A memory
full error will appear if 512 KB is reached. About 32 byte will be consumed with each file.
• The following is the output format of BASIC syntax error during direct input (not RUN):
• 801 Syntax Error: invalid command (error detail explanation).
• Following is the output format of BASIC syntax error when running a program (RUN):
• 818 (110) Syntax Error: file not found.

INSTRUCTION REFERENCE
ECHO
Function Cancel the setting of ouput data monitoring.
Format ECHO<ON/OF>
Example ECHO ON
From ON assignment, the content of the standard output will be displayed onto the LCD at the same
time, enable the monitoring. End the monitoring by assigning OFF and return to the normal LCD display.
Except CRLF, characters that cannot be displayed such as control code, etc, will be displayed with “.”.
NOTE: During ECHO ON, the display of ONLINE/OFFLINE and QTY is suppressed. And the following
cases show that the ECHO ON setting is cancelled (OFF) automatically:
• error message displays when error occurs
• offline by pressing the LINE key.
CLOSE
Function Close the channel.
Format CLOSE<#channel>
Example CLOSE#1
CLOSE is to shut down the channel allocated to the port opened by OPEN. The default port will be
reallocated to the closed channel. Input/Output is only allowed in the default port until it is reopened.
NOTE: When program is ended without executing END, the channel cannot be closed.
CTRL-C
Function Force termination of the program
Format 0316
Example
Data that is sent from the PC to the printer becomes control code ETX (0316). Execute force termination
only when it is at Cancel Code “enable/disable” assign CANTRL ON.

40 DIM S$,T$,U$ AS STRING ...declaration of string-form variable.
50 DIM T$(5) AS STRING ...declaration of string-form 1-D array variable.
60 DIM T$(5) AS STRING ...declaration of string-form 1-D array variable.
Declare a variable based on a parameter. Definition of interger-form, string-form is enabled. Integer-
form is the integer in 4 bytes which takes the range of -2147483647 thru 2147483647. Legend of 1-D
and 2-D array is describable. Maximum for definition number of array name is up to 128 in both integer-
form and string-form. Interger-form and string-form is allowed to declare up to 256 variables respectively
(each array element is treated as interger-form or string-form).

SATO GT4xxe SEMBL User Guide PN 9001148A Page 7
END
Function Declare the end of a program.
Format END
Example END
End the execution of a program, closes all channels and returns back to command leave. Although the
last END can be abbreviated in the program, channel closing cannot be executed.

abbreviation
NEXT <# variable>
Example
10 FOR X=1 TO 10
20 PRINT X; “:SEMBL IS FUN”
30 NEXT X
Able to boil out from the loop with EXIT FOR. Allows use of nesting up to 24 groups with the entire
nesting inside and outside of GOSUB. STEP can take the value of both positive and negative definite.
The variable of NEXT cannot be abbreviated.

Enter line feed code (CR CR LF) as 1 line, data (exclusive of line feed code) in the line feed code will be
substituted with a variable. Remain at standby status until the line feed code is entered. The valid code
range is 2016 . 7E16 , and partial control code CR(0D16), LF(0A16), ETX(0316), BS(0816) only. Back Space
will be executed (delete 1 character) when BS is available in the input data.
ETX signified force termination, when ETX is available in the input data, the program will terminate at
that point. However, if data is available subsequently after ETX, this data will be treated as a command
the resultant perfomance cannot be pridicted.
The upper limit of input data is 256 characters (CR locates at 257th character). If this limit is exceeded,
the result may not be as anticipated.
Assign a KEY and INPUT at the open port. The printer’s original key operation will not be executed until
INPUT has ended.

Function Substitution of a value for the variable.
Format LET <variable name> = <form>
Example

20 J=(J+1)
30 PRINT J
>RUN

When entering the line number and adding legend, LET is allowed for non-descriptions. This is used
when data is entered without a line number to operate as a substitution. Substitutions have to be located
on the left side as a variable.
