ASCII_PASSTHRU? Keyword Support
If you add the following line to your PDF, Z and I Emulator for Windows will send host
data without any translation:
ASCII_PASSTHRU? = YES
This option is for special host applications that generate PC printer control codes directly.
Even if ASCII_PASSTHRU? is set, control codes defined START_JOB and END_JOB are sent to the printer at the start and the end of a print job respectively. To remove those commands, you need to rebuild the PDT file after removing the PDF keyword definitions for START_JOB and END_JOB.
If ASCII_PASSTHRU? is set, all character definition lines, for example, EBCDIC_xx, are ignored.
If both ASCII_PASSTHRU? and EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? are set, ASCII_PASSTHRU? has priority.
