You can choose from several different filters within the PR1_CSET Character Set
Conversion. For more information, see Appendix A, “Configuration Parameters.” The
output from the conversion filter is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), which you
should set up on your printer.
The following text provides an example scenario:
Problem
Your network contains three hosts using the character sets IBM PC Set 2,
ISO 8859-2, and DEC.
Solution
In order for different hosts to direct their print jobs to the same printer, for
instance LPT1, you should assign each host to a separate logical printer and install
character set conversion filters. Edit the following entries in your configuration file:
PR1_CSET.: NONE
PR2_CSET.: ISO>IBM
PR3_CSET.: DEC>IBM
Result
Logical printer PR1 prints data transparently without conversion. Logical
printer PR2 converts ISO 8859-2 data to IBM PC Set 2. Logical printer PR3 converts
DEC data to IBM PC Set 2.
This arrangement will produce correct printouts for all language-specific characters.
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
Assume that the logical printer PR5 is configured as a PostScript printer. To
append the PostScript End of File character (Ctrl-D, hex 04) after each print job, edit
the following entry in your configuration file:
PR5_AFT. : 04
Substituting Strings
The string substitution function performs search and replace operations on the print
data. The primary application is to replace printer control commands. Up to 20 string
substitutions may be specified individually for each logical printer.
All strings must be entered as hexadecimal byte values, and each match and substitute
string must be preceded by a count byte. For help, see Appendix A, “Configuration
Parameters.”
Example 1
To replace the UNIX New Line (hex 0A) with an ASCII New Line (hex
0D 0A) for logical printer PR1, edit the following entry in your configuration file:
PR1_STR. : 01 0A 02 0D 0A
