about 2). For example, if the mean character width of the font example shown here corresponds to the width of the blank char-
acter (for other fonts it may be another sign). There is another text passage found whose horizontal distance is even bigger
than the first one's mean character width, multiplied by factor 1.0. The two text passages are found to not belong together.
Vertical distance: Indicates the biggest acceptable vertical distance between two text passages so that they're still rec-
ognized as belonging together. This is the factor the font's height and size is multiplied with. The value for the font's height
therefore is taken from the corresponding font's attributes. For example, if the height of that font example in 10 point size is
0.32 cm. There is a passage found that is positioned 0.15 cm above - which means 0.15/0.31 = 0.48 < 0.50 - the previous text
passage. So the two passages are not recognized as belonging together.

Select this option if the task is to generate a Line Printer file. This will prompt the task to perform the second phase of the proc-
ess, and thus convert the XML file to a Line Printer file. If this option is not selected, the output file will thus be an XML file. The
settings included in this group determine the format settings of the generated Line Printer file.
Character per inch (CPI): The number of individual characters per inch on a line of text.
Line per inch (LPI): The number of lines of text per inch.
Standard Filter Action Task Properties
Standard Filter action tasks can be used to remove HP Escape characters from data files, as well as to eliminate spacing prob-
lems caused by LF-CR end-of-line sequences.
HP escape characters are used in the Hewlett Packard Printer Control Language (HP PCL) to communicate basic page for-
matting and font selection information from print jobs to HP or HP-compatible printers.
These characters, like other printer control characters that control how printers interpret and print jobs, are not meant to be
printed.
If your print job is bound for an HP compatible printer, it may include these characters even when printing to a PostScript
printer that does not recognize them. PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools provides an easy way to automatically filter these char-
acters through its Standard Filter action.
