JSI Tip 0388 - How do I create a custom Separator Page for my printer?

Windows NT provides 3 .SEP files in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory. You can modify these or create a new one using the following command syntax:

Command	D e s c r i p t i o n
@	Escape character - Defined by typing any character as the 1st and only character on the 1st line of the file. @ is used in this example.
@N	Prints the %UserName% that submitted the job.
@I	Prints the job number.
@D	Prints the date in the format defined in Control Panel.
@T	Prints the time in the format defined in Control Panel.
@Lxxxx	Prints all the characters (xxx) until the next @ is encountered.
@Fpathname	Prints the contents of the file starting on the next line.
@Hnn	Sends a printer specific hexadecimal control code.
@Wnn	Sets the width of the separator page. The deault is 80 and the max is 256.
@U	Turns off block character printing.
@B@S	Prints text in single-width block characters until @U is encountered.
@E	Ends the page by ejecting it or starts a new one.
@n	Skips n lines (0-9). @0 starts a new line.
@B@M	Prints text in double-width block characters until @U is encountered.

Here is a simple searator page I wrote for my HP1600C:

@1
@B@S@N@4
@I@4
@U@D@L   @T@4
@E
