These apply to both GDI and Passthrough printing.
Field |
Description |
Strip Leading FF |
This removes a leading form feed character (ASCII code 12) from the output. This is useful with some applications that were designed to work with tractor feed printers under AMOS, which would ignore a leading form feed if the prior report ended with a form feed. |
Auto CR |
This adds a carriage return for each line feed (LF) to fix the "stair step" problem. |
Tailing FF |
This adds a form feed to the end of a report. |
Ignore Printer |
This is an advanced technique in which instead of sending the file to the printer specified at the top of the dialog, it instead executes the command line specified in the field below. (Equivalent to the COMMAND= parameter in a standard A-Shell printer init file.) This can be used either for processing the printout via an external command, or via an A-Shell subroutine. |
Debug |
This causes ATE to output printer debug messages to the screen during printing (particularly useful for solving problems getting it to locate or select the correct printer). |
