AXIS 5550 User’s Manual
The AXIS 5550 solution to this problem is to assign a character set
conversion filter to a logical printer, and then link that logical printer to
the host causing the problem.
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:
In order to direct print jobs to the printer connected to the AXIS 5550,
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
Printers.
2. Select the
PR1
tab.
3. Set the parameter
Physical Port
to
USB1
.
4. Set the parameter
Character Set Conversion
to
ISO>IBM
.
5. Click the
OK
button.
6. Select the
PR2
tab.
7. Set the parameter
Physical Port
to
USB1
.
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 USB1. Similarly, the DEC printer data that
is sent to logical printer PR2 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on
USB1.
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.
Your network contains a host using the character set ISO 8859-2 and a host using the
character set DEC.
