Forms Card menu After the Forms and Bar Code Card is installed, additional menu items are added to the standard printer menus. These menu items can be found in the Forms Card menu. Menu item Forms Merge Mode Enabled Disabled Data Capture Disk | Flash Thumbdrive Archive and Print Archive only Data Filter Global Filter Network Filter USB Filter Parallel Filter Serial Filter Description • If Forms Merge Mode is enabled, then the merged output is printed. • If Forms Merge Mode is disabled, then the Forms Card passes all received data to the printer. No attempt is made to merge data onto a formset. • When the Forms Card is in Data Capture mode, the incoming data stream is written to a file on the printer storage device. This file can be used as a sample data file during formset creation. • The Thumbdrive option under Data Capture is available only when a USB flash drive is inserted into the printer. • "Archive and Print" and "Archive only" modes are available only when the printer has a hard disk installed and Formsmerge DLE is configured to use the printer hard disk for formsets. • When the Forms Card is in "Archive only" mode, the merged PDF files are archived in the formsmerge/archive directory. In "Archive and Print" mode, the merged PDF files are also printed. If a data filter is enabled, then the incoming forms job is run through that filter before being processed by the DLE. The following are possible values for each data filter: • Disabled-This indicates that all data filters are off. • NULL-This removes all null characters. • AS400-This removes extraneous lines of data due to AS400 formatting. • PCL-This removes all PCL escape sequences and leaves plain text. • ZPL-This removes Zebra Printer Language directives. • ZPL-F-This it the same as ZPL, except it uses @ as the escape character instead of ^. • OFIS-This removes all Optra FormsTM initialization strings. • OFIS+NULL-This removes all null characters and all Optra Forms initialization strings. • AS400+OFIS-This removes extraneous lines of data due to AS400 and all Optra Forms initialization strings. Note: Some data filters may not be available depending on your printer model. Creating and managing forms 15
