Programmer' s Guide
2) If a validation select command precedes a receipt station select command, the Validation select command will
be processed before the page is printed and the receipt station select will be processed after the page is printed
(ejecting the form).
3) If a form is already loaded into the printer, and a validation select command is in the definition, the form will
not be reloaded. However, the validation select command must be present to prevent the form from be ejected
and the receipt station selected.
4) If a load form to the top of form ([ESC]m) is issued, before any validation select command, that might be
present, it is processed after the validation select command.
5) If a load form to the top of form ([ESC]m) is issued and validation is not selected, it is ignored.
6) If an auto-cut command is in the page definition, it is ignored if any validation operation is attempted.
If you print the page with "print and reenter page mode" command [ESC][FF], you must re-issue the station select
commands for the next print operation.
You may place the station select commands anywhere in the definition, however, they must be in the proper order.
Auto-cutter and page mode
You may embed an auto-cutter command with in a page definition provided the page will be printed on the receipt
station. The auto-cut command may be placed anywhere in the page definition, however, it will be processed after
the page is printed. To prevent the cut from occurring in the page, it will be proceeded with a feed that will place the
end of the page about 0.125 inches above the auto-cut position.
Mechanism commands in page mode
In general, mechanism commands received during page mode will be processed if the result will not effect the
printed result. For example, the bell and cash drawer commands will be processed as they are received.
Stopping page mode definition
Several things will stop a page mode definition.
1) [ESC]@ Printer initialize command.
2) Real time reset request [ENQ]<10>
3) Parallel port INIT request.
4) Turning the printer off.
Printing the page
The [FF] or [ESC][FF] command starts the printing process.
Printing starts at the current left margin and at the current paper position. The complete page definition is printed
including any blank information at the bottom of the page.
If the [FF] command is used to print the page, the memory used to store the page image is not maintained and is
released to be used by other functions.
If the [ESC][FF] command is used, the page is printed and page mode is reentered. The advantage of this mode is
that you can print a page, add data to it and print it again. Any station select commands embedded in the page
definition must be reissued after the print process. This allows one copy of the page to be printed on an inserted
form and a duplicate printed on the receipt.
