Input to 5250 ALLY: Output from 5250 ALLY:
s+Pds+Pd
...(commands and text)... ...(commands and text)...
<FF> (inserted by System) (Form Feed is removed)
...(commands and text)... ...(commands and text)...
s+Pd <FF>
...(commands and text)... ...(commands and text)...
<FF> (inserted by System) (Form Feed is removed)
...(commands and text)... ...(commands and text)...
s+Xds+Xd
<FF> <FF>
In the example above, the first and second Form Feeds were not sent to the
printer, because Auto FF suppression was initiated by the s+Pd job
beginning. The second s+Pd was translated into a Form Feed. This
means the second page is actually part of the same job as the first page.
The s+Xd ended auto FF suppression mode and the job. The last
Form Feed was passed because auto FF suppression had ended.

This example shows that the job start command is translated to a Form
Feed only when there is already an active job.
