» 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.
Adding an EOD Command to the End of Your File
Create an output file (for example, print an 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
Adding an EOD Command to a Separate File
Create an ASCII text file that contains only the EOD command. For
example, create a DOS batch file listing each print filename followed
For this EOD command... Use this syntax...
