Series 50 Electronic Journal
The Model 50 emulation also supports a limited electronic journal. The following section outlines the available
commands. See the Standard Ithaca Emulation for the configuration and initialization of the Electronic Journal.
There are two ways entries can be made into the electronic journal. The first is by selecting the MicroLine Journal
mode in the configuration. The second is by command. Both provide the same journal operation.
If the Electronic Journal is on by configuration, the printer will automatically start in Electronic Journal mode (If the
Electronic Journal is initialized). In Electronic Journal mode all data (except graphics) sent to the printer is saved in
the journal as it is printed. The electronic journal may be turned off an on by the journal configuration command at
anytime(If the Electronic Journal is initialized).
