The following options are available:

Character encoding This option allows you to select the character encoding for the file. The available encodings and the default are specific to the Java Runtime Environment. If all expected characters do not appear in your file, change the encoding selection to a type that includes a larger array of characters.

Character encoding can also be applied to output that is sent to a printer, but only when text formatting is bypassed.

Reflection maintains separate values for this character encoding for file and printer output.

Formatting

Data coming from the host may or may not contain formatting characters, and in some cases the same host can send both kinds of print jobs. Reflection can send the data as it is received from the host or use the formatting specified in the Page Setup dialog box. Three options determine how Reflection processes data being sent to the printer.

If Determine text formatting on print request is selected and data from the host is already formatted, Reflection sends the job directly to the printer without changing the host formatting characters. If data is not formatted, Reflection applies the formatting shown in the Page Setup dialog, as applicable. Character encoding will be applied if the print job was formatted by the host.

If Always apply text formatting is selected, Reflection always applies the formatting features shown in the Page Setup dialog, as applicable. Character encoding is not applied.

If Bypass text formatting is selected, Reflection always sends the text to the printer as received from the host without adding any additional formatting. Reflection maintains separate values for this option for file and printer output.

Suppress blank pages

Removes any blank pages received from the host before sending the file to the printer. This option is applied only when Reflection formats the data (i.e., when data is sent from the host without formatting characters and Determine text formatting on print request is selected, or when Always apply text formatting is selected).
