Printing/Reporting and Resetting the Electronic Journal
The electronic journal may be printed on the receipt or reported to the host. The
printed report will print each journal entry with an 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 for further details.
There are two ways to print the electronic journal: one is under host control, and the
second is by entering journal print mode and using the keypad to control the printout.
Journal Entries and using Journal Print Mode
Journal print mode can be used to initialize, print then erase the electronic journal. To
provide a level of security for the journal, if the electronic journal is initialized under
software control and a password is provided, the electronic journal cannot be erased
in journal print mode. There is also a factory configured mode that completely
disables this feature.
To enter Journal Print Mode:
1. Press and hold the FEED10 Button until the PAPER indicator illuminates
(Approximately 2 seconds)
2. Follow the directions printed on the receipt to select the desired option.
The available options are:
1. Initialize Journal. (If the electronic journal is not initialized)
2. Print Complete Journal.
3. Erase Complete Journal. (If the electronic journal is not password protected)
4. Print Last 20 Records
5. Print First Record.
6. Skip 10 Records.
7. Back 10 Records.
8. Print Remaining Journal.
9. Print Last Record.
When journal print is entered, the printer will print a short list of instructions, the
available options, a summary of the total number of records in the journal, and the
amount of space left.
10 The FEED button is a multifunction button. By pressing and releasing the FEED
button, the printer will feed and cut a short thicket. This is intended to clear the printer
after changing paper. By pressing and holding the FEED button for a longer time, two
additional features may be activated. Pressing and holding the button for about two
seconds will enter journal maintenance mode. Holding the button for about 4 seconds
will enter configuration mode. To aid in selecting the correct mode, the Error LED will
illuminate as soon as the button is pressed and indicates that FEED is selected. After
about 2 seconds the Error LED will go out and the PAPER indicator will illuminate.
This indicates that Journal mode is selected. After about 4 seconds, the Cover LED
will illuminate indicating configuration mode is selected.
