Session Command Location

The %%Session command must

■

Be placed at the beginning of the data stream of a document
to delimit the session boundaries.

■

Precede all of the data that belongs to an individual subjob.
This will ensure that the command is not saved in the actual
data stream that is passed to a language or emulation.

Some host applications add DOC commands at the beginning of a
document’s data stream before transmitting a job to the QMS Crown
printer. If you do not ensure that such features are completely dis-
abled, the processing of the %%Session command will be termi-
nated, and unexpected results may be printed.

Alternatively, if FTP is used to transmit a document to a QMS Crown
printer supporting the %%Session command, the following FTP com-
mand must be entered prior to sending a file to the printer:

cd no_doc_cmds

The default mode of the FTP protocol for the QMS Crown printer adds
network addressing information, in the form of DOC commands, to
the start of a job and this data would also terminate the session.

Session Command

Since each subjob may use a different end-of-subjob argument, the
%%Session: ... command sequence must be inserted at the begin-
ning of each subjob to specify the end-of-subjob argument for that
particular subjob.

Function:

Signal the start of a subjob within a session.

Syntax:

%%Session:

mode argument terminator

Notes:

The %%Session command provides two methods to

signal the end of a subjob, end by count and end by
delimiter string. Both methods may be used within one
document, but each subjob may only use one method.

Parameter:

mode argument
