Character Set
Conversion
A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different
hosts use different ASCII character sets. As a result of this, language
specific characters (such as å ü ô ñ) are sometimes printed incorrectly.
The AXIS 5600+ 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:
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 the printer connected to the AXIS 5600+, you should assign
each 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
