Adding an EOD Command to Your File

When adding an EOD command to your file, use the syntax for the 
selected EOD command exactly as written (the command's syntax is 
case sensitive).

»

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 
as follows.

For this EOD command...

Use this syntax...
