End Job Mode

Stand-Alone PC

1Set the end job mode from the printer's control panel.

2Add the EOD command to your file.

»Note: If using steps 1 and 2 is not feasible in your stand-alone PC environment, you can alternatively use a program that either causes an emulation timeout or that inserts an EOD command between each print job. See your QMS vendor for more information on this type of program.

PC Print Server

1Set the end job mode from the printer’s control panel.

2Create a job separator to append an EOD command and send it between each print job.

Other Print Queuing Systems

If you use a print queuing system other than a PC print server and you experience what appears to be an EOD command problem, you may need to use another procedure, such as a print utility, an initialization sequence, or a header page to add an EOD command. See your print queuing system documentation, your network administra- tor, or your QMS vendor for more information.

Setting the End Job Mode via the Control Panel

Use the following procedure to set the end job mode from the printer’s control panel for printers connected via the optional serial or parallel interface to a stand-alone PC, a PC print server, or some other type of print queuing system.

»Note: If you print both serial and parallel protocol jobs, then you must set the end job mode for each protocol.

Wait for the printer to go idle, and then press the control panel buttons in the order shown in the following instructions to access the End Job Mode option. The printer responds by displaying a status message in the message window.
