Specifying printer commands to print on a new sheet of paper

In these cases, you might need to specify printer commands to print data sets on new sheets of paper:

• When you print multiple copies, some printers print the next copy on the back side of the sheet of paper, or even on the same side as the previous copy.

  To determine if your printer prints each copy on a new sheet of paper, print multiple copies of a data set that is less than one page in length.

• When you select the direct sockets protocol and print multiple data sets in the same output group, sometimes the second and subsequent data sets in the output group print on the back side of the sheet of paper, or even on the same side as the previous data set. This can occur when you select the Concatenate job option in the Dataset grouping field.

To force printing on a new sheet of paper, specify one of these printer commands, depending on the type of data typically printed on the printer. For most printers, specify the command in the Document trailer field. However, for other printers, you might need to specify the printer command in the Document header field or in both fields:

• For PostScript data streams, specify the PJL Universal Exit Language (UEL) command:

  <ESC>%-12345X 

• For non-PostScript data streams, specify the PCL Select Front command:

  <ESC>&a1G
