Page Mode Commands
Page Mode is one of two modes, which the 7194 printer uses to operate. Standard Mode is
typical of how most printers operate by printing data as it is received and feeding paper as
the various paper feed commands are received. Page Mode is different in that it processes
or prepares the data as a “page” in memory before it prints it. Think of this as a virtual
page. The page can be any area within certain parameters that you define. Once the printer
receives the (0x0C) command, it prints the page and returns the printer to Standard Mode.
The Select Page Mode command (1B 4C) puts the printer into Page Mode. Any commands
that are received are interpreted as Page Mode commands. Several commands react
differently when in Standard Mode and Page Mode. The descriptions of these individual
commands in this chapter indicate the differences in how they operate in the two modes.
Limitations
Page mode is only implemented on the receipt station in 7194 Native Mode only.

The processed data is printed and the printer returns to Standard Mode. The developed
data is deleted after being printed.
