Table Of Contents
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614) 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 multiples 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
conditions 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 language format are organized in a folder view with a root node and sub-
level nodes.
