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 5400 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. In order to direct its print jobs to the printer connected to the AXIS 5400, you should assign the host to a separate logical printer, and install a character set conversion filter.

Follow the instructions below to change the conversion filter:

1.Select the Printer1 Web page.

2.Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to ISO>IBM.

3.Click the Submit Printer1 settings button.

The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 converts to IBM PC Set 2.
