defined emulation. Further note that if you remove characters in a CSV emulation, you should ensure that you
do not inadvertently remove field or text delimiters.
Add/remove lines: Enter the number of lines to add to, or remove from, the head of the data stream, or use
the spin buttons to increment or decrement the value. Positive values add lines; negative values remove lines.
This is useful when one or more lines of input data precede the start of the first data page. Note that you
cannot add lines in either a CSV or user-defined emulation.
Lines per page: Enter the number of lines each data page contains, or use the spin buttons to increment or
decrement the value.
Pages in buffer: Enter the number of data pages you want the data page buffer to contain, or use the spin
buttons to increment or decrement the value.
Read in binary mode: Select to have the Data Selector read the sample data file in binary mode. You select
this if you intend to run the document on a printer that is set to binary mode. In binary mode, the printer
reads the end of line characters (CR, LF, and CRLF) as they appear in the data stream and does not perform
any substitution. A printer that does not support binary mode or is not running in binary mode replaces any
CR, LF, or CRLF that appears at the end of a line of data with a LF. Note, however, that it replaces a line feed
followed by a carriage return (LFCR) with two LFs. Binary mode is the recommended printer mode when you
use an ASCII emulation.
Cut on FF character: Select to have the document start a new data page when it encounters a form feed
character in the data stream. If you select Cut on FF character, you have two conditions that signal the end of
a data page: the form feed character and the number of lines set in the Lines per page box.
View Selector: Click to go to the Data Selector to set the properties of this task.
ASCII
The following options are displayed when the ASCII emulation is selected.
Tab on CR: Select to have the document insert a tab after each carriage return character it encounters. Set
the number of spaces in the tab using the Number of spaces in the tab box. This option is available only if you
selected Read in binary mode. If you cleared Read in binary mode, the printer replaces any end of line
characters (CR, LF, or CRLF) it encounters with a LF.
How many spaces in a tab: If you selected Tab on CR, use this box to set the number of spaces you want
that tab to contain. Enter a value in the box, or use the spin buttons to adjust the value.
Number of spaces to skip for 1 tab: Enter the number of spaces you want the document to use for a tab,
or use the spin buttons to adjust the value.
Remove HP PCL escapes: Select to have the document remove any Hewlett Packard Printer Control
Language (HP PCL) escape sequences it encounters.
CSV (comma separated values)
The following options are displayed when the CSV emulation is selected.
Text delimiter: Enter the character that starts and ends the data in each field of the record. If you do not set
a text delimiter and the data in a field contains the character you set as the delimiter, the document splits that
data into two fields. If you want to use a backslash character (\) as a delimiter, you must precede it with
another backslash character (thus you would enter \\). You can also specify an ASCII character using its octal
value preceded by a backslash (for example, \041 is the exclamation mark character [!]).
Force one record per page: Select to force a single record per data page. If you clear the selection, the
document fills the data page completely, splitting a record across data pages if necessary. If you want to
avoid splitting a record across data pages, yet have several records in the buffer, select Force one record per
page, and, when you stabilize your data, set Pages in buffer to the number of records you want the buffer to
hold.
