<p>An exit program can be specified on the separator program parameter of the
printer device description. If a separator exit program is specified on the
printer device description, the system printer writer calls this program to
create the separator page. This separator page is used instead of the system
separator page.</p>

<p>For the printer data stream type field of *SCS and *IPDS, data stream
commands controlling the drawer, rotations, and fonts may be sent to the
printer before the user-generated data. This puts the printer in the same state
as it is when system default separators are printed. The commands controlling
the drawer are based on the SEPDRAWER parameter of the Start Printer Writer
(STRPRTWTR) command. The remaining controls are set to defaults or have values
set from the spooled file attributes of the spooled file that prints next.</p>
<p>For a printer data stream type of *AFPDS, the initial commands are not sent
to the printer and the user must include all commands needed to define an AFPDS
document.</p>
<p><strong>User-generated separator data.</strong> The data that prints on the
separator page. The format of this text is dependent on the transform option
and the printer data stream type fields. When *FCFC has been specified for the
transform option, the data must be in the *FCFC format. When *NONE is specified
for the transform option, the data (text and controls) must be in the format
specified by the printer data stream type field.</p>
