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 NPS 530/532 solution to this problem is to assign a character set conversion filter to a logical printer, and link that logical printer to the host causing the problem.

There are several different filters to choose from, see Printer1 Menu parameter PR1_CSET in Appendix A. The output from the conversion filter is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and that is the character set the printer must be set up for.

Example: Your network contains three hosts using the character sets IBM PC Set 2, ISO 8859-2, and DEC. In order to direct their print jobs to the same printer, for instance LPT1, you should assign each host to a separate logi- cal printer, and install character set conversion filters. Edit the following entries in your config file:

PR1_OUT. : LPT1

PR1_CSET. : NONE

PR2_OUT. : LPT1

PR2_CSET. : ISO>IBM

PR3_OUT. : LPT1

PR3_CSET. : DEC>IBM

The logical printer PR1 prints data transparently without conversion, PR2 converts ISO 8859-2 data to IBM PC Set 2, and PR3 converts DEC data to IBM PC Set 2. This will produce correct printouts for all language specific characters.
