Using Logical Printers to Customize your Printing
The AXIS 5600+ has a powerful facility for altering the print data.
This means that your desired print format can be realized on any type
of printer. The following actions can be invoked from the AXIS
5600+:
•
The character set can be changed to suit the printer
•
Strings can be added before and after the print data
•
Strings within the print data can be substituted
•
ASCII to PostScript conversion
•
Redirection of print data to another printer if the printer is busy
•
Hex Dump mode to assist with printing problems
If any of these actions are required, a Logical Printer is used to change
the print data before being sent to the printer port. There are eight
logical printers (PR1-PR8) that can be set up to filter the print data.
The default logical printers settings are such that PR1-PR4 cause no
change to the flow of print data, while PR5-PR8 add CR to LF
control characters:
Each logical printer can be set via the print servers’ internal web pages:
Open a Web browser, enter the IP address of the print server in the
"URL/Adress"-field and choose
Admin | Logical Printer Settings
.
The logical printers can also be set up by editing the
config
file.
