Electronic Journal Entries
There are two ways to place information in the electronic journal. The first is by selecting
journal mode. The second is by requesting that validation or receipt information is copied
into the electronic journal.
If you select journal mode, information sent to the printer is not printed, but stored in the
flash memory. The information is stored as records in a linked list. Whenever a ―journal
mode begin‖ command is received, a new record is started. When journal mode is
exited, the record is finished, closed and the link updated. This journal mode is intended
to be printed at a later time. No printer control codes are allowed in the journal. Only
[CR], [HT] and [LF] commands are allowed. Any other control character will end the
journal record. Use [EOT] or [NUL] to provide the most graceful exit from journal mode.
The other way to place information in the electronic journal is with carbon copy mode. In
this mode select information sent to the validation or receipt station is carbon copied into
the electronic journal. A record is started with the ―Electronic Journal Begin‖ command
and ended with the ―Electronic Journal End‖ command. There is an ―Electronic Journal
Suspend‖ and ―Electronic Journal Resume‖ which allows some information not to be
saved.
