ASCII to Postscript
Conversion
The AXIS 560/660 logical printers can translate ASCII print data into
PostScript format. This makes it possible to print with a PostScript
printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion
is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into
Postscript. This filter can be activated individually for each logical
printer.
Activate your desired filter by setting the Printing Language
Translation (PRx_FILT) parameter.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to convert ASCII print data to
PostScript for logical printer PR2:
1. Select the
Printer2
Web page.
2. Set the
Printer Language Translation
parameter to
POSTSCR
.
3. Click the
Submit Printer2 settings
button.
If you select the parameter value
AUTO_PS
, the print data for every
print job is searched and if any ASCII data is found, it is translated
into PostScript. This setting is recommended if you are not sure if the
print data is ASCII or PostScript.
PostScript Settings
When a logical printer is set for PostScript conversion, you must
specify the following:
•
page size
•
page orientation
•
page formats
•
which font is to be used
