Chapter 5 Modes And Attributes
Transparent Mode
The Transparent mode allows you to control which data is removed, replaced,
or modified. Sometimes the datastream of a graphics file contains a character
sequence that is specified in the active CST for removal. If you mishandle this
graphics file, important data could be removed.
The extra attributes for Transparent are Start, End, and Count.
Skip GFX Mode
The Skip GFX mode allows the Bit Image Graphics command to be
recognized and the following data to become transparent which prevents the
datastream adapter from removing selected strings from graphics. This allows
graphic code to print properly.
The extra attributes for Skip GFX are 8-pin graphic data, 16-pin graphic data,
24-pin graphic data, and Graphic plot data.
Select CST Mode
The Select CST mode allows you to switch CSTs immediately. Use it if
different conversions are required (one per job). You do not need to select the
matching CST through the printer front panel.
This mode needs a unique header for each of the jobs requiring a CST to
activate. Once a switch occurs, the datastream adapter resets, selects the
indicated CST, and restarts.
NOTE:
Buffered data (the portion of the incoming datastream that invokes the
Select CST mode) is not deleted; it is rescanned using the new CST.
No extra attributes exist for Select CST.
CST On, CST Off Mode
These modes prevent data handling by CSTs until enabled by part of the
incoming datastream.
No extra attributes exist for CST On and CST Off.
Reset Mode
The Reset mode is used to reset the CST such that, if the Use Once flag has
been set for one or more entries in the table, these entries become available
again for the next datastream. See “The Use Once Flag” on page 160.
No extra attributes exist for Reset.
