Q: Send Data to the RS-232 Port then Clear the Receive Buffer 
Expanded Function Q is a non-form message that enables you to send a message through the 
DOS terminal receive buffer to the auxiliary RS-232 output and then clears the receive buffer. 
This function is active only for DOS terminals with an RS-232 port.  
What Happens 
When you use Expanded Function Q, the DOS terminal copies the data from the receive buffer to 
the device, such as a printer. After the data is sent to the device, the DOS terminal clears the 
receive buffer to prevent the operator from seeing text that could be confusing. 
Application  
You could use Expanded Function Q to print barcode labels directly from the DOS terminal, if a 
remote printer were attached.
