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 a new data page when a form feed character is
encountered 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.
Emulation specific options
Various emulation specific options can be set for most emulations, with the exception of the line
printer and database emulations. For more information about a specific emulation type, see:

Emulations in PlanetPress Design
The Data Selector in Workflow is essentially the same as the one used in PlanetPress Design.
When you create a document in PlanetPress Design, you choose a sample data file and
specify the emulation to use for the chosen data. Within PlanetPress Workflow, the same
emulation tools as in PlanetPress Design are available throughout your process, using the
Data Selector. One notable exception however is that User-Defined Emulation is not available
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.
