13.3 How to Modify Print Data
The print server offers many filters in order to modify print data.
Filter Function 'Find and Replace'
You can edit print data using the filter ’Find and Replace’. 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:
’Logical Printers (Filters)’

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 ’;;’ 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
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 ’\’.
