CHAPTER 10 CARBON COPY FUNCTION - 8
3.
DETAILED INFORMATION
3.1.
Details on the specifications
3.1.1.
Usable emulation
Only the PCL emulation can be used since the macro is supported only on the PCL emulation. For
the request to use the EPSON / IBM emulation, however, the filter function which converts the
EPSON / IBM emulation data to the PCL emulation one is provided.
3.1.2.
About tray selection
When the carbon copy function is enabled, the normal tray selection function is ignored, and the
carbon copy function takes priority (excluding the PRIORITY command).
Ignored tray command SOURCE, MP FIRST, MP SIZE, MANUAL FEED,TRAY1 SIZE,
TRAY2 SIZE, *TRAY3 SIZE, DUPLEX
*Only HL-5270DN/5280DW/5380DN
Valid tray command
PRIORITY
3.1.3.
About the duplex setting
When the carbon copy function is enabled, the duplex printing function cannot be used.
(The duplex setting is ignored both on the control panel and with the PJL command.)
3.1.4.
About the USER DEFINED SIZE paper
Since the user defined size paper is often used with the carbon copy function, it can be fed from the
Tray 1 and Tray 2. However, the paper which cannot be fed from the selected tray is not supported.
(Ex. A6 size or others with the Tray 2)
3.1.5.
About the reprint function
When the carbon copy function is enabled, the reprint function cannot be used.
3.1.6.
About the spool data
The carbon copy function cannot be used even if the function is turned on for the spool data.
3.2.
Limited items
3.2.1.
About the page break of the print data
When the print data is two or more pages, it is required to insert the FORM FEED command (<FF>)
or RESET command (<ESC>E) into the page break.
For the print data which breaks a page only with the form feed code, the problem that the macro
cannot be added correctly, or that the data is not printed in the correct order will occur since the page
break is not known.
3.2.2.
About the <ESC><CR> command of the print data
If the <ESC><CR> command is sent when the carbon copy function is enabled, the printer stops the
carbon copy process and disables the carbon copy function when it recognizes the <ESC><CR>
command.
While the filter program is being operated, the printer does not stop the process and disable the
carbon copy function.
