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.
10The 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.
