CHAPTER 10 CARBON COPY

 

FUNCTION - 10 

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, TRAY4 SIZE, TRAY5 SIZE, 
DUPLEX 
 

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.
