Revision F January 2010 A760 User Guide: Programming Supplement Chapter 4: Programming commands Page mode Page mode is one of two modes that the A760 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.
