since the first print job has no EOD command, it “runs” into the second job, and even
though the second job is PostScript, it prints in PCL.

Since the serial and parallel protocols may not be able to detect an EOD automati-
cally, due to a lack of an EOD command in some printer languages, you can insert an
EOD command at the end of your file to tell the printer where your print job ends. QMS
Crown printers recognize three end-of-document commands: QMS EOD, HP EOD,
and CTRL-D (for PostScript only).
These commands are functionally the same. They enable data stream sensing for the
EOD command, allowing your host computer to control print job separation. The QMS
EOD and the HP EOD commands perform an end of document for all of the printer
emulations supported on your printer (PostScript, HP-GL, HP PCL, and Lineprinter).
See your system administrator or applications development department to have them
identify the standard EOD command for your organization, or to have them select a
standard EOD command.

Your printer can be connected through the optional serial or parallel interface to a
stand-alone computer, to a print server, or to some other type of print queuing system.
This section provides a quick guide to the steps needed to set the end job mode for
each environment. The following sections provide more detailed information for each
step.

1 Set the end job mode from the printer's control panel.
2 Add the EOD command to your file.
»Note:
If using steps 1 and 2 is not feasible in your stand-alone computer environment,
you can alternatively use a program that either causes an emulation timeout or that
inserts an EOD command between each print job. See your QMS vendor for more
information on this type of program.
