Section 7: Setting Up - UNIX

Character Set A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different Conversion 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 540/640 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.

There are several different filters to choose from within the

PR1_CSET Character Set Conversion. Refer to Appendix A - The Test Button. 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:

The Problem: Your network contains three hosts using the character sets IBM PC Set 2, ISO 8859-2, and DEC.

The Solution: In order to direct their print jobs to the same printer you should assign each host to a separate logical printer, and install character set conversion filters. Edit the following entries in your config file:

PR1_CSET. : NONE

PR2_CSET. : ISO>IBM

PR3_CSET. : DEC>IBM

The Result:

Logical printer PR1 prints data transparently without conversion.

Logical printer PR2 converts ISO 8859-2 data to IBM PC Set 2.

Logical printer PR3 converts DEC data to IBM PC Set 2.

This arrangement will produce correct printouts for all language specific characters.
