Lines per page: Enter the number of lines each data page contains, or use the spin buttons to
increment or decrement the value.
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.
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 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.
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 PReS Workflow, the same emulation
