Since the serial and parallel protocols may not be able to detect an
EOD automatically, due to a lack of an EOD command in some printer
languages, you can insert an EOD command at the end of your file to
tell the printer where your print job ends. QMS Crown printers recog-
nize two end-of-document commands: QMS EOD and HP EOD.
These commands are functionally the same. They enable data
stream sensing for the EOD command, allowing your host computer
to control print job separation. The QMS EOD and the HP EOD
commands perform an end of document for all of the printer
emulations supported on your printer (PostScript, HP-GL, HP PCL,
and Lineprinter).
See your system administrator or applications development depart-
ment to have them identify the standard EOD command for your
organization, or to have them select a standard EOD command.
Your printer can be connected through the serial or parallel interface
to a stand-alone PC, to a PC print server, or to some other type of
print queuing system. This section provides a quick guide to the steps
needed to set the end job mode for each environment. The following
sections provide more detailed information for each step.
1 Set the end job mode from the printer's control panel.
2 Add the EOD command to your file.
» Note:
If using steps 1 and 2 is not feasible in your stand-alone
PC environment, you can alternatively use a program that either
causes an emulation timeout or that inserts an EOD command
between each print job. See your QMS vendor for more
information on this type of program.
