Printing Mode Spooled sends the data to a spooled file in the specified Spool directory. (If you don't specify a directory name, the spooled file will be created in the Windows TEMP directory.)
Note: To have a print job spool to a file, on the T27 Print Services utility menu, choose Configure, and then choose Miscellaneous. Then clear Perform autoprint.
Disk file sends the data to the file specified for Disk file name. New data is appended to any existing data in this file.
Printer control character filter Select this option to remove any printer control characters from the data, and format the data using the options specified on the Fonts dialog box.
Notes:
If the host application is designed to print on a particular model of printer, clear this option.
If you select this option and the host sends more data than can fit within the specified number of columns for the selected printer, T27 Print Services inserts a carriage return (CR) in the last column, and the remaining data is printed on the next line.
Whether you select or clear this option, be sure to run a test print job. Some printer hardware and printer drivers do not work reliably with text files.
Filter control codes (LT300) When this option is enabled, the control characters and escape sequences in the datastream are treated in the same way as on a LT 300 terminal.
Enable ESC SO/ESC SI Select this option to process any extended characters received between Esc SO and Esc SI sequences. If you clear this option, T27 Print Services will ignore any extended characters received between Esc SO and Esc SI sequences.
Enable SO/SI Select this option to process any extended characters received between SO and SI sequences. If you clear this option, T27 Print Services will ignore any extended characters received between SO and SI sequences.
