Most printers let you print the incoming data exactly as it arrives at the printer, as hexadecimal values. This is useful for
determining exactly what characters the printer receives and for spotting unexpected characters in the data stream, or
characters that are not arriving in the proper order. The following table shows the hexadecimal codes the printer
dumps for a carriage return followed by a line feed, and a line feed followed by a carriage return, respectively. The
equivalent ASCII codes appear on the right.
Hexadecimal ASCII
0A 0D LF CR
0D 0A CR LF
Because a document page can generate hundreds of pages of hexadecimal code, if you print in hexadecimal mode, you
should be prepared to cancel the print job once the first few pages have printed.
Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
Introduction
The Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) allows end-users to print directly to the PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools from any Win-
dows application, by using the familiar File|Print option. At the other end, PlanetPress Office and PlanetPress Production spe-
cifically can capture the incoming stream and convert it internally into a PDF file along with its metadata.
Although it is available with every PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools, this feature becomes even more useful in environments
where the Document Input emulation is available (with PlanetPress Office or PlanetPress Production).
Install a Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
The Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) is automatically installed during the PlanetPress Suite setup, along with a default Win-
dows Printer Queue called PlanetPress Printer.
Install a Windows Printer Queue using the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS)
A Windows Printer Queue using the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) can be installed from the PlanetPress Design Data Cap-
ture window.
Creating a new Windows printer queue from PlanetPress Design:
1. Start PlanetPress Design.
2. Choose Tools | Data Capture | Windows Queue Input.
3. Click New.
4. Enter a Name for the printer queue.
5. Click OK.
Every new Windows printer queue using the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) is shared by default. Once such a shared queue
is created, end-users can install it on their own computer by going through the same steps they would when installing a new
remote printer in their Operating System. By default, connecting to a shared printer will automatically result in the Objectif
Lune Printer Driver being downloaded to the connecting host.
Printer Properties setup
A printer queue using the Objectif Lune Printer Driver (PS) can be configured to produce one of 3 different types of datafiles:
EMF, PostScript, or PDF.
Possible printer properties settings, along with the datafile type it will produce:
