Adding an EOD Command to a Separate File

Create an ASCII text file that contains only the EOD command. For example, create a DOS batch file listing each print filename followed by the EOD command filename for each file being printed. Then “run” the batch file to print your list of files.

Sample DOS batch file:
Command	Explanation
Print mktg.doc	Job filename
Print end.txt	EOD command filename
Print acct.doc	Job filename
Print end.txt	EOD command filename

Creating a Network Job Separator

If your printer is connected to a network through a PC and the PC is acting as a print server managing the printing of shared network files, then your system administrator must create a job separator and associate it with a print job queue. Different network environments have different procedures for creating the job separator, such as initialization sequences, custom banner pages, print job headers, or print job trailers. The print server does not necessarily send multiple print jobs to the printer in the order that you queued them to the printer. The network job separator is accessed with each print job, so this ensures that network job separation is enforced. See QMS Crown Network Notes for more information on how to create a network job separator for several commonly used networks.

Parallel Interface Modes

In addition to Centronics parallel communication, your printer’s parallel interface provides IEEE1284 bidirectional parallel communication, which supports five modes of operation. The printer automatically recognizes and uses the mode dictated by the host.
