Page Mode
Overview
Page mode is one of two modes which the EFP9800 printer uses to operate.
Standard mode is typical of how most printers operate by printing data as it is
received and feeding paper as the various paper feed commands are received.
Page mode is different in that it processes or prepares the data as a “ page” in
memory before it prints it. Think of this as a virtual page. The page can be any
area within certain parameters that you define. Once the printer receives the
Eject Slip command (0C), it prints the page and returns the printer to standard
mode.
The Select Page Mode command (1B 4C) puts the printer into page mode. Any
commands that are received are interpreted as page mode commands. Several
EFP9800 commands react differently when in standard mode and page mode.
The descriptions of these individual commands in this section indicate the
differences in how they operate in the two modes.
