Working with Flush Aux Buffer Process
Process Purpose
The Flush Aux Buffer process is used to flush (empty) the INPUT buffer of the serial/bluetooth/socket being used to talk to the printer. This process is useful when you want to parse incoming commands or answers from the aux/printer.
When you add a process, you are required to define its settings. This occurs in the process's properties window which is displayed automatically after having added the Flush Aux Buffer process.
If any subsequent edition is required, double-click the process to open its properties window and enter the necessary modifications.
Proceed as follows:

Select the external device port to flush from the drop-down list. If required, click See To Create an AUX Profile and/or To Edit an AUX Profile. |
If required, click to attach any relevant notes to this process. Click it and enter your notes in the resulting text box. These notes will be displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window (in the "Notes" field) and in the "Developer Report".

to abort the operation.
The added process is displayed in the corresponding "Actions" tab or "Process" window.
