Points to note when printing the journal:
Receipt character attributes and bar code attributes are set to their default values before •
and after printing the journal.
Receipt station is selected.•
Macro denitions are not cleared.•
If the macro execution command is in the journal, the macro denition should be in the •
journal also. If not, the printed journal might look OK before a power cycle when the
macro denition is still in memory. After a power cycle the macro denition will be gone.
If User Dened characters are printed, their denitions (0x1B 0x26 ….) should be stored in •
ash (via 0x1D 0x22 0x33) and their selection command (0x1B 0x25 0x01) should be in the
journal buer.
