Journal Print Mode Options
Initialize Journal
If this option is offered, the journal has never been initialized. Selecting this option will
initialize the journal with no password. Once initialized, the journal configuration can not
be changed unless the journal is erased by command.
Print Complete Journal.
This option will print the complete journal log from record 1 to the end. The printer will
use the default configuration and emulation to print the log. That is if the printer is
configured for Ithaca PcOS emulation and set to 6 lpi, large draft 16 cpi, the printer will
print the log with these defaults. If a journal entry has been saved with print mode
settings they will take effect for all following entries.
Erase Complete Journal.
If the electronic journal is not password protected, this option will erase the complete
journal and reinitialize it.
Printing part of the journal.
Print Last 20 Records
Print First Record.
Skip 10 Records.
Back 10 Records.
Print Remaining Journal.
Print Last Record.
These commands will allow part of the journal to be printed. For example if the last 10
journal entries are to be printed, select print last record, then back 10 and then print
remaining journal.
Security
The security of the journal is up to the user. If the journal is host controlled, it should be
password protected and if manual printing is not desirable, the printer should be
configured so as to disable manual printing. The TransAct printer configuration utility will
allow set and clear this feature. When Ithaca
®
8000 printers leave the factory, the
electronic journal is erased and is not initialized.
