Adding an EOD Command to Your File

When adding an EOD command to your file, use the syntax for the selected EOD command exactly as written (the command's syntax is case sensitive).

»Note: <ESC> represents the escape character. (The decimal value for the escape character is 027, and the hexadecimal value is 1B.) How you enter the escape character depends on your application.

Some applications allow you to press and hold the ALT key and then type 027 to enter the escape character, while others allow you to type certain character sequences to represent the escape character. See your computer or application documentation to find out how to enter the escape character on your system.

For this EOD command...

Use this syntax...

 

 

QMS EOD

%%EndOfDocument

 

<CR><LF>

 

 

HP EOD

<ESC>%-12345X

 

 

»Note: The <CR><LF> sequence following the %%EndOfDocument line for the QMS EOD is necessary to avoid an INPUT IDLE message remaining in the printer message window after the document finishes printing.

When the QMS EOD or the HP EOD is set, the printer does not rec- ognize the Ctrl-D EOD command. Add your organization's standard EOD command to the end of your print file, or add it to a separate file as follows.

Adding an EOD Command to the End of Your File

Create an output file (for example, ASCII, PCL, or PostScript file to disk) and add your organization's standard EOD command (QMS EOD or HP EOD) to the end of that file.
