Read in binary mode (ASCII emulation only): Select to read the data file in binary mode. You
select this if you intend to run a PlanetPress Design document on a printer queue 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 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.
View Selector: Click to go to the Data Selector to set the properties of this task.
Emulation. The available emulations are:
l
Line printer. (Nothing to configure.)
l
ASCII.
l
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 the Read in
binary mode option. If you cleared Read in binary mode, the printer replaces any
end of line characters (CR, LF, or CRLF) it encounters with a LF.
l
Number of spaces per tab: Enter the number of spaces you want the document to
use for a tab, or use the spin buttons to adjust the value.
l
Remove HP PCL escapes: Select to have the document remove any Hewlett
Packard Printer Control Language (HP PCL) escape sequences it encounters.
l
CSV (comma separated values).
l
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 [!]).
