The valid orders for the XOH command for the S828 Printer are:
Order Description
0100 Print Buffered Data (PBD)
0500 Erase Residual Print Data (ERPD)
0700 Erase Residual Font Data (ERFD)
0D00 Stack Received Pages (SRP)
1500 Select Input Media Source (SIMS)
1700 Set Media Size (SMS)
F300 Obtain Printer Characteristics (OPC)
Print Buffered Data (PBD)
This subcommand causes the printer to print all buffered data pages prior to sending the Acknowledgment
Reply, if requested. The print buffer clears at the completion of this command.
Erase Residual Print Data (ERPD)
This is a data security and privacy order. This order causes the printer to first complete a Print Buffered
Data order, then delete all page segments, overlays, and buffered page data (text, image, graphics, and
bar codes) from the printer storage.
Erase Residual Font Data (ERFD)
This is a data security and privacy order. This order causes the printer to first complete a Print Buffered
Data order, then delete all font information from the printer storage.
Stack Received Pages (SRP)
This command is a synchronizing command. It is accepted by the S828 Printer, but it is functionally a
no-op because of the simple paper path.
Select Input Media Source (SIMS)
The Select Input Media Source (SIMS) subcommand selects an input media source ID and indirectly
selects the input for subsequent sheets. This subcommand applies to the sheet that the next received
page is printed on.
The size of the input media can be specified explicitly by the Set Media Size command or implicitly by the
assumptions the printer makes about the size of the media in the input media source selected by this
subcommand.
The set of valid Media Source ID values depend on what paper sources are currently installed. The
following tables give the valid values for the configurations described in each table.
If the printer is in 4247 mode or an emulation mode with one or two tractors installed, valid values are:
Table 7. Front and Rear with no linking
Bytes 0-1
X'1500' Select Input Media Source Order Code
Byte 2 X'00' Front Paper Source
X'01' Rear Paper Source (if configured)
X'FF' Printer Default Bin
Set Media Size (SMS)
The Set Media Size subcommand specifies the size of the physical medium.
