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. This prints all formset information found on the Forms and Bar Code Card. Notes: • If a .ppf file exists for the formset, then the paper tray and output bin information is read from the .ppf file and listed under the .ppf file name. • If both a printer hard disk and flash memory are installed, then both total size and available size for the flash memory are displayed. Only the forms on the user flash is accessible. This prints an error page when an error is encountered by the Forms and Bar Code Card. This allows Formsmerge to be turned on or off for the selected port(s). Formsmerge is on for all ports by default. Note: If a port is on, then all data sent to that port are processed by the Formsmerge code. Otherwise, all data sent to that port are processed by the printer as if the Formsmerge is not installed. Specifically, the data file is printed as determined by the basic Printer Language Setting.
