Auto Journal
®
The POSjet 1500 can simulate an impact printer s ability to duplicate a validation operation on impact receipt paper.
The printer will store the validation information and repeat it on the receipt after the validation form is removed.
This feature can be configured in three ways:
1) Disabled
The [ESC]i<n> command is ignored.
2) Enabled and activated by command.
The [ESC]i<n> command will be active and will start and stop the saving of data in validation mode.
3) Auto activated when in validation mode.
The Auto journal is always active and whenever the printer is in validation mode, the data will be saved
and reprinted.
The [ESC][GS]A command may be used to enable (or disable) the auto journal in a printer that is not configured for
the feature. This command needs only be sent once.
If the printer is configured to have this feature enabled, (not AUTO enabled) the [ESC]i command must be used to
turn the feature on when information is to be saved. If the feature is in AUTO mode, the [ESC]i command is not
needed, however, it will function to turn the saving of data on and off.
NOTE: Most user macro operations are not compatible with AUTO Journal and will deactivate it and clear the
buffer. It is not possible to have auto journal active and use a stored graphic on the validation. The Auto Journal
operation will be stopped and cleared.

Description This command activates or deactivates the Auto Journal feature. It does not turn the feature on. It
is intended as a safe guard to prevent auto journal activation unless activated. .

n = 0 deactivates the Auto Journal feature
n = 1 activates the Auto Journal in command mode.
n = 3 activates the auto Journal in auto mode.
The auto journal repeats any validation data on the receipt after the validation form is removed
from the printer. This feature can be used to simulate the ability of impact printers to generate a
record of validation operations on impact paper on the receipt station.
NOTE:
This command should not be issued when in validation mode.
NOTE:
This feature may be activated by default by setting Auto Journal in the configuration menu to
Enabled.
