AXIS 5900 User’s Manual 101
You select your desired conversion filter by setting the Character Set
Conversion (PRx_CSET) parameter. The output from the conversion filter
is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and this is the character set the
printer must be set up for.
Example:
Your network contains a host using the character set ISO 8859-2. In order
to direct its print jobs to the printer connected to the Axis Network Print
Server, you should assign the host to a separate logical printer, and install
a character set conversion filter.
Follow the instructions below to change the conversion filter:
1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin | Logical Printer
Settings.
2. Select the PR1 tab.
3. Set the parameter Physical Port to LPT1.
4. Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to ISO>IBM.
5. Click the OK button.
6. Select the Printer2 tab.
7. Set the parameter Physical Port to LPT1.
8. Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to DEC>IBM.
9. Click the OK button.
The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 converts to
IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on LPT1. Similarly, the DEC printer data that
is sent to logical printer PR2 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on
LPT1.
Adding Strings Before
and After Print Jobs
These string functions provide a way to send printer control commands
before and after each print job. They may be specified individually for
each logical printer.
All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values.
Example:
Your network contains a host using the character set ISO 8859-2 and a host
using the character set DEC. In order to direct their print jobs to the printer
connected to the Axis Network Print Server, you should assign each host to a
separate logical printer, and install a character set conversion filter.
Assume that the logical printer PR5 is configured as a PostScript printer and
that you want to append the PostScript End of File character (hex
04) after
each print job.
