PostScript Functions
The NPS 530/532 can translate standard ASCII print data into
PostScript format. This makes it possible to print with a PostScript
printer from a host that doesn’t support PostScript. The PostScript func-
tions are controlled by a number of parameters described below.
ASCII to
PostScript
Conversion
The conversion is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data
into PostScript. This filter may be activated individually for each logical
printer.
Example: The following entries in your config file will activate pass-through (no fil-
ter) for PR1, ASCII to PostScript conversion for PR2. On PR3 the
incoming data will be searched, ASCII data will be converted to
PostScript, PostScript data will pass-through without conversion:
Use this configuration when print jobs directed to PR1 are already in
PostScript format, print jobs directed to PR2 are in ASCII format and
direct print jobs to PR3 when you are not sure if it is ASCII or PostScript
format.
PostScript Page
Size
When the ASCII to PostScript filter is active, a page size must be speci-
fied. The default page size is A4, and may be specified individually for
each logical printer. See the example on the next page on how to change
the page size.
The page size setting is ignored when the ASCII to PostScript filter is
inactive.
PR1_FILT. : NONE
PR2_FILT. : POSTSCR
PR3_FILT. : AUTO_PS
