Special Alert and Custom Beep Command

Using the Beep Command, the printer data stream can alert printer operators that important
pages are currently being printed. The STBEEP1 command sounds its special beeps but
does not stop the printer. STBEEP2 stops the printing process and waits for the operator
to Press Go.
The Custom BEEP can be used to create an alternative beep pattern to STBEEP1. This
could be used to indicate a certain document, a custom signal to a different operator, or just
an alternative of your choice to STBEEP1. The Custom Beep command will not stop the
printing process.
NOTE: Beep Commands will not chain or link together. You cannot play Beethoven's 5th
Symphony. During the execution of a beep pattern, all other beep commands are eaten.
Two important documents could be sent to the printer one after the other, both with beep
commands, but the pattern would only occur one time.
NOTE: The two digit frequency value is inverted. The higher the value, the lower the
frequency.
