» Note: <ESC> represents the escape character. (The decimal value
for the escape character is 027, and the hexadecimal value is 1B.)
How you enter the escape character depends on your application.
Some applications allow you to press and hold the ALT key and then
type 027 to enter the escape character, while others allow you to type
certain character sequences to represent the escape character. See
your computer or application documentation to find out how to enter
the escape character on your system.
» Note:
The <CR><LF> sequence following the %%EndOfDocument
line for the QMS EOD is necessary to avoid an INPUT IDLE message
remaining in the printer message window after the document finishes
printing.
When the QMS EOD or the HP EOD is set, the printer does not rec-
ognize the Ctrl-D EOD command. Add your organization's standard
EOD command to the end of your print file, or add it to a separate file
as follows.
Adding an EOD Command to the End of Your File
Create an output file (for example, ASCII, PCL, or PostScript file to
disk) and add your organization's standard EOD command (QMS
EOD or HP EOD) to the end of that file.
Sample output file:
Text
Text
Text
Text
%%EndOfDocument
For this EOD command... Use this syntax...
QMS EOD %%EndOfDocument
<CR><LF>
HP EOD <ESC>%-12345X
