Page Mode Commands; Print And Return To Standard Mode - NCR 7158 Owner's Manual

7-120 Chapter 7: Programming Guide

Page Mode Commands

Page Mode is one of two modes, which the 7158 printer uses to
operate. Standard Mode is typical of how most printers operate by
printing data as it is received and feeding paper as the various paper
feed commands are received. Page Mode is different in that it processes
or prepares the data as a "page" in memory before it prints it. Think of
this as a virtual page. The page can be any area within certain
parameters that you define. Once the printer receives the (0x0C)
command, it prints the page and returns the printer to Standard Mode.
The Select Page Mode command (1B 4C) puts the printer into Page
Mode. Any commands that are received are interpreted as Page Mode
commands. Several commands react differently when in Standard
Mode and Page Mode. The descriptions of these individual commands
in this chapter indicate the differences in how they operate in the two
modes.
Limitations
Page mode is only implemented on the receipt station in A758 Native
Mode only.

Print and Return to Standard Mode

Mode. The developed data is deleted after being printed. This
command has the same code as the Print and Eject Slip command,
which is executed when the printer is not in Page Mode.
