Journal mode
Journal mode is a station select command. All data sent to the printer, following the
journal mode select command, is stored in the EJ as a single record. Any control
commands sent to the electronic journal will end the journal entry. An EOT, NUL or any
printer command will end journal mode. Typically an EOT, CAN or station select will be
used to end the journal mode.

Description The function enters journal mode. When in journal mode, commands are
parsed and any command that is not appropriate is removed, causes
journal mode to exit, or is saved.
The following commands are ignored:
[ESC][BEL] [ESC][EM] [ESC]! [ESC]4 [ESC]8
[ESC]9 [ESC]? [ESC]C [ESC]v
The following commands cause the journal to stop and will be processed again after the
journal information is saved.
[ESC][FS] [ESC][FF] [ESC][GS] [ESC][US] [ESC]"
[ESC]$ [ESC]* [ESC]@ [ESC]= [ESC]>
[ESC]K [ESC]L [ESC]Y [ESC]Z [ESC]f
[ESC]j [ESC]k [ESC]l [ESC]m [ESC]o
[ESC]t [ESC]u [ESC]y [ESC]{ [ESC]~
The following commands are processed and not placed in the journal:
[ESC]q [ESC]w [ESC]x [BEL]
All other commands are placed in the journal, and will be processed when the journal is
printed.
The [EOT] (4 or 4H) and CAN (24 or 14H) will cause the journal to stop and will not be
processed again.
In typical operation, a station select command should be used to exit journal mode.
Note that any station select including another Journal select will close the journal entry.
If a Journal select is processed in Journal mode, the current record will be closed, and a
new record opened.
