l
Number of spaces in the tab: Enter the number of spaces you want the application
to use when an isolated carriage return character is found within the data. This
number typically corresponds to the maximum column number. If your data is
formatted so as to occupy a maximum of 120 characters on each line, enter a value
of 120 in this box, so when an isolated CR character is found, the data following the
CR character will appear starting from column 121. Note that this option is available
only when the Tab on carriage return option is selected
l

Channel skip emulation
Channel skip emulation is a variant of line printer emulation. It tells the process to read the data
stream one line at a time, and to treat the first character of each line as a code that indicates
how to position the line of data in the data page buffer.
By default, in channel skip emulation, the integer 1 signals the end of a data page. You can
change this default when you set up the emulation.
Note that if a given value is used for multiple channels, the result may be different at design
time, or when a PlanetPress Design document is previewed or printed.
Also note that Split on FormFeed (FF) is not supported with the Channel Skip emulation in
Optimized PostScript Stream mode or when printing using a Windows driver.
Note
Channel skip emulation is only used when merging line printer data with a PlanetPress Design
document.

set as the delimiter, the data is split into two fields. If you want to use a backslash
