IBM™ ProPrinter Data Stream PPDS Emualtion
The emulation was developed for several customers, and does convert about 70 percent of all PPDS
commands; the remaining ones lead to an abort of the emulation.
In order to activate this emulation, add in the global section or in the appropriate printer or user section
the key: PPDS_ENABLE and turn it on.
The DSM iniFile you may use the following additional Section with following entries:
[PPDS]
; initialisation of PCL converted data stream
PPDS_INIT=\x1BE\x1B&l1O
; Set scaling factors
PPDS_XSCALE=95
PPDS_YSCALE=100
Note: The name of the section is fixed. If the PPDS_ keys are listed in any other section, they will be
ignored!
Note: This emulation is not perfect. If it doesn‟t match your requirements, please send your data
stream to WML for evaluation.
Paper tray handling commands “1B 19 #” where # is the character 0 (hex 30) to maximum 9 (hex 39).
The paper source can be set by the key PPDS_PaperTray# searched in the section PPDS in the
actual ini-file. Any valid escape sequences are allowed, so the direct paper tray sequence Esc&l#H
can be used, as well as the media type sequences.
