release the form as soon as it is clamped. (If the operator does not release
the form, it is possible the form will be mispositioned when the slip drive
transfers from the lower drive to the primary drive.)
3. If the form is not sensed by the form position sensor, an error is generated.
The slip is unclamped, and the operator should remove it. The operator can
restart the command with the RESUME key. If the form is in position, the
top edge is calibrated and clamped by the primary slip/validation drive.
4. The form is then positioned to the first line of print.
Notes
1. All station select commands reset rotated print and print justification. Print
is set to 0
°
rotation with left justification. If rotated print or justification is to
be set, it must be set after the station select command.
2. The first line of print is adjustable in two ways: through the use of the adjust
slip position command or during initial configuration.
Function Eject slip

Decimal
<27> <107>
IPCL &%VE
EPOS [ESC] c 0 <n>
Description
The [ESC] k command ejects the slip or validation form out of the printer and
opens the form clamp.
Note If the command is followed by another station select command and the form has
not been removed from the printer, the station select command will wait for the
eject wait time. If the form is removed before the eject wait period, the printer
will enter the selected station mode. If the form is not removed in time, the
printer will enter dejam mode. This delay is adjustable. See [ESC] [EM] W on
page 67.
Function Release slip

Description
The [ESC] z command releases the slip by partially opening the form clamp.
Note
If the command is followed by another station select command and the form has
not been removed from the printer, the station select command will wait for the
eject wait time. If the form is removed before the eject wait period, the printer
will enter the selected station mode. If the form is not removed in time, the
printer will enter dejam mode. This delay is adjustable. See [ESC] [EM] W on
page 67.
5.11.5 Validation and Slip Operation Control
Automatic validation operations can be adjusted for specific applications. The following commands adjust
print and form positions and delays used to sense forms.
The Series 90PLUS Printer has several features that can be altered during operation. For example, the time
delay between when a form is sensed and when the form clamp is activated can be changed. This allows the
operation of the printer to be tailored to the application and form.
