Metacode Transparency
This option is useful only for XPPM data streams. The OPTIMA uses two
modes for passing Metacode from the host system to the printer. The
OPTIMA normally handles transparent data by removing the data from the
transparent packet and sending it to the printer. XPPM printers,
however, require that they receive the data in a transparent packet. The
OPTIMA has an option that specifies whether or not the transparent packet
will be sent to the printer.
To define this option, use the arrow keys to move the cursor on the Xerox
Special Options screen to the words Metacode TRN Usage= (Normal
TRN usage is the default), and press ENTER. The following choices will
be displayed:
Normal TRN usage
Use TRN for Metacode
Normal TRN usage tells the OPTIMA not to send transparent data
packets intact to the printer, but to send only the data within the packet.
For example, when the OPTIMA receives 35h-count byte-data, only the
data will be sent to the printer. The 35h and count byte will be stripped.
Use TRN for Metacode tells the OPTIMA to keep transparent data
packets intact when sending them to the printer. Specifically, when the
OPTIMA receives a packet in the form 35h-count byte-data, the printer
will receive 35h-count byte-data.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the appropriate choice, and press
ENTER. The Xerox Special Options screen will return. To return to the
OPTEDIT main screen, press F10 or Esc.
