Adding an EOD Command to Your File

When adding an EOD command to your file, use the syntax for the
selected EOD command exactly as written (the command's syntax is
case sensitive).

»

Note:

<ESC> 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 <CR><LF> 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.
