defined in the Number of spaces in the tab box below. Note that this option is available only when
the Read in binary mode option is selected.
l
Number of spaces in the tab: Enter the number of spaces you want the application to use
when an isolated carriage return character is found within the data. This number typically
corresponds to the maximum column number. If your data is formatted so as to occupy a
maximum of 120 characters on each line, enter a value of 120 in this box, so when an isol-
ated CR character is found, the data following the CR character will appear starting from
column 121. Note that this option is available only when the Tab on carriage return option
is selected
l
Number of spaces per tab: Enter the number of spaces you want to use when actual TAB char-
acters are found within the data.
l
Remove HP PCL escapes: Select if you want all Hewlett Packard Printer Control Language
escape sequences to be removed from the data.
Channel skip emulation
Channel skip emulation is a variant of line printer emulation. It tells the process to read the data stream
one line at a time, and to treat the first character of each line as a code that indicates how to position
the line of data in the data page buffer.
By default, in channel skip emulation, the integer 1 signals the end of a data page. You can change this
default when you set up the emulation.
Note that if a given value is used for multiple channels, the result may be different at design time, or
when a PlanetPress Design document is previewed or printed.
Also note that Split on FormFeed (FF) is not supported with the Channel Skip emulation in Optimized
PostScript Stream mode or when printing using a Windows driver.
Note: Channel skip emulation is only used when merging line printer data with a PlanetPress
Design document.
CSV emulation options
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 data is split 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 [!]).
