l
Add/remove lines: Enter the number of lines to add to, or remove from, the head of the data
stream, or use the spin buttons to increment or decrement the value. Positive values add lines
while negative values remove lines.
l
Lines per page: Enter the number of lines each data page contains, or use the spin buttons to
increment or decrement the value. A higher value means more lines will be displayed on each
data page. Note that increasing the value for this setting increases the amount of RAM used by
the application and may exceed the system’s capacity. Since the Show used cells option also
uses up some RAM, consider removing this option (see "Data Selector display preferences" on
page716) to reduce system load.
l
Pages in buffer: Enter the number of data pages you want the data page buffer to contain, or
use the spin buttons to increment or decrement the value. Putting more pages in the buffer mul-
tiples the lines shown and is only useful in specific cases.
Note for PlanetPress Suite users: You should also consider using the N-Up Object if you want to
display multiple data pages; see thePlanetPress Design user guide.
l
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 the Cut on FF character option, there are two con-
ditions that signal the end of a data page: the form feed character and the number of lines set in
the Lines per page option. Note that the Cut on FF character takes precedence over the Lines
per page option.
l
Read in binary mode: Select this option to force the printer to read the incoming data in binary
mode. Use this option with the ASCII emulation to fix problems related to line spacing caused by
LFCR character pairs found within the data. Use it with the ASCII emulation and with the Tab on
carriage return option to fix problems related to data formatting caused by isolated CR characters
found within the data. This option can only be used with the ASCII emulation.
Note for PlanetPress Suite users: You cannot select this option if the Design document is to be
installed on a printer that cannot run in binary mode.
l
Data encoding: Select the appropriate encoding for the sample data file. You may look at the
data in the Data Pane (non-English characters especially, if any) to see how the your selection
affects the data.
XML Emulation
XML data emulations allow you to capture data emanating from web databases, e-mail fulfillment, e-
commerce, and general XML database engines. In XML emulation, the data elements in markup lan-
guage format are organized in a folder view with a root node and sub-level nodes.
Note: Characters referenced using the ϧ syntax are limited to values ranging from 000
(�) to 256 (Ā).
