Job Separation Command Job separation provides a means of identifying one print job from others in the printer's output tray. It usually does this by physically offsetting one print job from the next. The Job Separation command toggles the printer's separation mechanism. This command must be sent between each job to enable the separation mechanism. ? & l 1 T HP recommends that the Job Separation command be included at the end of each job, just before the Printer Reset command. HP also recommends that this command be included in the programs even though printers with job separation are not currently being used. This ensures that if a printer with job separation is eventually added, job separation will be performed. If this command is received by a printer which does not have job separation, the command is ignored. Note It is possible to perform job offset in printers which do not have a mechanical offset mechanism but have dual paper trays. In dual bin printers, job offset can be performed by placing colored paper in the second tray and using Paper Source command to select the tray to feed a blank sheet of colored paper at the end of a job. This method should only be used in special cases where the end user can control its use, for example, the program should only be available for a dual bin printer which can always contain colored paper in one tray.
