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. PReS Workflow provides an easy way to automatically
filter these characters through its Standard Filter action.
Input
Text-based data files such as Line Printer Emulation and ASCII Emulation data files, which contain
HPPCLcontrol characters.
Processing
All HPPCLcharacters 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 infos and variables
are not modified.
Properties
General tab
l
Process job using ASCII emulation: Select to use the ASCII emulation to process the job file. This
reverses LF-CR end-of-line sequences that may result in unwanted double-spacing.
l
Remove and convert HP escape characters: Select to filter HP escape character sequences from
the job file.
On Error Tab
The On Error tab is common to all tasks. Details can be found in the" Task Properties Dialog" on page663.
By default, any action task, branch, splitter or condition that generates an error will simply be ignored, and
the task just under it (not within a branch)will be given control of the job file without any modification. Any
initial input task that generates an error will stop the process from running as a whole, and output tasks will
not generate output. The On Error tab can be used to overwrite the default behaviors.
