Does anyone know where I can find the characteristics of a spool file that trigger the Tags that are set up in a Workstation Customization Object (the Tags defined in the source)?

For example:
- What triggers Host Transformation to send the hex codes defined in specific tags? How does it determine switching to Landscape? How does it determine the font codes to send?
- What would I need to put either on a print line or OVRPRTF/CRTPRTF commands to have the printer switch to landscape and use a specific font, assuming the hex codes in the Tags were set correctly?

Also, does anyone know how I research where the garbage characters (i.e. smiley faces and other strange things) come from when using a WSCST? I scan the source for specific codes that appear as garbage, but do not see the tags where they are used.

Thank you
