Suppress non-display characters

(Site option only)

Specifies whether to suppress non-display characters. Set this value to N if unprintable content is needed in control streams that are sent as part of the data, such as escape sequences. With this value set to Y, the data content sent to the printer has any undisplayable characters translated out. For most current printers, the control data is displayable characters. For information on non-display characters, see How to Modify the PMS Conversion Tables (PMSTRUC, PMSTRND, and PMSTRNDK).
