Setting	Description
Data Stream Translation	Displays options for handling host printing instructions.
Substitute ESC for Character	Enables substitution of the standard host escape character with a user-defined character.
Substitution Character	Lists possible character replacements for the host escape character.
Enable Hex Passthrough	Select to process the data stream from normal text to hexadecimal conversion.
Enable Single Hex Passthrough	Lists possible characters for the beginning of hexadecimal format data in the data stream only. When a start trigger character is encountered at the beginning of the block, but no trigger character is inserted at the end of the block the start trigger character is stripped from the data stream, and hex conversion proceeds until a non-hex character is encountered. That non-hex character is stripped from the data stream. Without the insertion of a non-hex end trigger character into the block, a valid data character is stripped out of the print data stream.
Trigger	Lists possible characters that signal the beginning and end of hexadecimal format data in the data stream.
End Print Job On
Unbind	Ends print job on host unbind signal.
End of Media	Ends print job on the end of media.
