APPENDIX A — INTERFACING XEROX PRINTERS

Page A-7

In the example above, the first and second Form Feeds were not sent to the printer, because Auto FF suppression was initiated by the s+Pd job beginning. The second s+Pd was translated into a Form Feed. This means the second page is actually part of the same job as the first page. The s+Xd ended auto FF suppression mode and the job. The last Form Feed was passed because auto FF suppression had ended.

Input to OPTIMA:	Output from OPTIMA:
s+Pd	s+Pd
...(commands and text)...	...(commands and text)...
<FF> (inserted by System)	(Form Feed is removed)
...(commands and text)...	...(commands and text)...

...(commands and text)...	...(commands and text)...
<FF> (inserted by System)	(Form Feed is removed)
...(commands and text)...	...(commands and text)...
s+Xd	s+Xd
<FF>	<FF>

This example shows that the job start command is translated to a Form Feed only when there is already an active job.
