Note: 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.

Note: The 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.

Adding an EOD Command to the End of Your File

Create an output file (for example, print an 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.

Sample output file:

Text

%%EndOfDocument

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

For this EOD command...

Use this syntax...
