QMS 1725E Print System Reference 5-24
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
by the EOD command filename for each file being printed. Then “run”
the batch file to print your list of files.
Sample DOS batch file:
Command Explanation
Print mktg.doc
Job filename
Print end.txt
EOD command filename
Print acct.doc
Job filename
Print end.txt
EOD command filename
Creating a Network Job Separator
If your printer is connected to a network through a PC and the PC is

then your system administrator must create a job separator and asso-
ciate it with a print job queue. Different network environments have
different procedures for creating the job separator, such as initializa-
tion sequences, custom banner pages, print job headers, or print job
