8.3 How to Modify Print Data
The print server offers several filter functions for the subsequent
editing of print data.
Filter Function 'Find and Replace'
You can use the filter function 'Find and Replace' to edit print data
subsequently. For this purpose the print server scans incoming print
data streams for specific patterns. As soon as such a pattern is found
it will be automatically deleted or replaced by another previously
defined pattern.
Benefits and
Purpose
It may be useful to edit print data if there is no access to the original
documents or if changes to the original files would be too laborious.
You can edit print data using the filter 'Find and Replace'. The filter
functions can be configured by means of logical printers, see:
73.
Syntax
You can enter various patters into the boxes 'Find' and 'Replace'.
Please pay attention to the following syntax:
• 256 characters can be used.
• You can define various patters. Use the double semicolon ';;' as
separator. The first pattern that is defined by separators in the
'Find' string will be replaced by the first pattern that is defined
by separators in the 'Replace' string.
• In the case of patterns with ASCII text, you can use clear text
(depending on the printer driver, etc.).
• Patterns including escape sequences and control characters (e.g.
Postscript or PCL) require special representation. Patterns for
hexadecimal code (or other) must be entered as decimal code. In
decimal code, each character is represented as three digits
(triplets). Each triplet is preceded by a backslash '\'.
