The electronic journal may be printed on the receipt or reported to the host. The printed report will print each
journal entry with a entry separator defined by the user (or, if not defined, with a default). The journal can be erased
and reinitialized at any time. It is up to the host application to assure the electronic journal is reported or printed
before it is erased. To provide some level of security on the erase process, the erase function is password protected.
The password is set by the previous initialize command. See the [ESC][GS]I and E commands.
There are two ways to print the electronic journal. One is under host control the second is by entering journal print
mode and using the keypad to control the printout.

this feature.
