Document name

The document name is a temporary filename used when spooling the data to a disk file before printing it. If you do not specify a name, a name is generated for this purpose.

You can specify the &F variable in the Page Setup dialog box to include this name in printed output.

Operation

Select from the following to determine how PTRSpooler formats printer output.
Passthru Printing No formatting. Use this if this host data is preformatted for your printer, such as postscript data for a laser printer.
CR Advances Paper A carriage return advances the paper in addition to moving the print head to the left margin setting.
LF Returns Carriage A line feed moves the print head to the left margin setting in addition to advancing the paper.
Independent CR and LF A carriage return moves the print head to the beginning of the line, but the paper is not advanced. A line feed advances the paper, but the print head remains in its current column position.
