Standard Filter
Standard Filter Action tasks can be used to remove HP Escape characters from data files, as
well as to eliminate spacing problems caused by LF-CR end-of-line sequences.
HP escape characters are used in the Hewlett Packard Printer Control Language (HP PCL) to
communicate basic page formatting and font selection information from print jobs to HP or HP-
compatible printers.
These characters, like other printer control characters that control how printers interpret and
print jobs, are not meant to be printed.
If your print job is bound for an HP compatible printer, it may include these characters even
when printing to a PostScript printer that does not recognize them. PlanetPress Workflow
provides an easy way to automatically filter these characters through its Standard Filter task.
Input
Text-based data files such as line printer data (see "Line printer emulation" on page67) and
ASCII data files (see "ASCII emulation" on page63) data files, which contain HP PCL control
characters.
Processing
All HP PCL characters are removed from the data file. Note that these characters are not
interpreted, only stripped out.
Output
The modified data file, with stripped characters, is output from this task. Metadata, Job Info
variables and other variables are not modified.
