Other Pseudo Transparency Mode Considerations

Some applications insert unnecessary spaces before pseudo transparency trigger character(s). Option #13 — Suppress Spaces Before PTM Packets will tell the ULTRA to delete any spaces or null characters in between a PTM trigger and the text that precedes the trigger. To delete unnecessary space characters, set Option #13 to “Yes.” The default setting is “No.”

In Trigger 1 + Trigger 2 pseudo transparency mode, PTM is terminated with any character outside the valid range of values (the valid range is 0-9 and A-F). Option #31 — Discard PTM Terminating Delimiter gives users the option of either printing or discarding the terminating character. To discard the terminator, set Option #31 to “Yes.” To print the terminator, use “No,” the default value.

Option #39 — Non-Transparency Trigger 1 Output determines the character that will be output to the printer when Option #30 — Pseudo Transparency Mode Selection is set to (A) Trigger 1 + Trigger 2 and when Trigger 1 is encountered in the data stream followed by a character other than Trigger 2. The default output character is 9Bh, which has no affect on printed output, but the user may set the value to any two-character hexadecimal value.
