because it uses PlanetPress Talk code, which is not available within the PlanetPress Workflow
Configuration program.
The emulation that is used in your process can change during the process, and can be different
than the one used in any PlanetPress Design document used in your process. PlanetPress
Design Documents use their own emulations, as defined in the document itself from
PlanetPress Design.
For more information about emulations in PlanetPress Design see PlanetPress Design User
Guide.
ASCII emulation
ASCII emulation tells the process to treat the input data as a stream of ASCII characters. The
data stream is read one character at a time, a line is constructed, and that line is added to the
data page buffer.
In this emulation, you can define how to handle carriage returns that are not followed by line
feeds and how to handle tabs. You can also define whether you want any Hewlett Packard
Printer Control Language (HP PCL) escape sequences to be removed.
Note
ASCII emulation is only used when merging ASCII data with a PlanetPress Design document.
When choosing an ASCII sample data file to be merged with a Connect template, select Text
emulation (see "Text-based emulation" on page62).
Using an ASCII file on a printer
If an ASCII file gets sent to a printer (which is possible in a PlanetPress Suite solution), you
need to know if your printer supports binary mode as this is the recommended mode for ASCII
emulation. On printers that support binary mode, you can switch the printer to binary mode
using the printer keypad or by sending the appropriate PostScript code to the printer.
In binary mode, the printer reads the end of line characters (carriage return [CR], line feed [LF],
and carriage return followed by a line feed [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.
A form feed signals the end of a data page in ASCII emulation. If no form feed occurs in the data
stream, the emulation adds data to the data page buffer until the buffer is full.
