Job control commands

All jobs should begin and end with one or more job control commands.

A job control command serves one of two functions. It either sets job boundaries (telling the printer where your job starts and ends and what type of data it contains) or it formats the printed output in some way. When the printer receives a command to start a job, it finishes the current job, ejects any remaining pages from that job, and starts over.

In addition to the escape character, a job control command always includes:

·A plus symbol + that follows the escape character

·An instruction (an upper case letter)

·A line end.

A job control command sometimes includes:

·An optional comma inserted when you want a Summary Sheet.

·An optional comment that is printed on the Summary Sheet.

Occasionally, it also includes a user-entered variable.

Example The command for starting a document:

E+P,commentL

+P	The plus symbol, followed by the instruction
	for starting a print job (uppercase P).

,Optional request for a Summary Sheet to report errors upon execution of the next job command.

comment An optional text message of up to 130 alphanumeric characters that will appear on the Summary Sheet.

LThe line end required to complete the command.
