Axis Communications AXIS 5500 Printers, Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to Isoibm

Configuration Possibilities

The AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 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 print jobs to the printer connected to the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550, 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.From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin Logical

Printers.

2.Select the PR1 tab.

3.Set the parameter Physical Port to USB1.

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

5.Click the OK button.

6.Select the PR2 tab.

7.Set the parameter Physical Port to USB1.

8.Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to DEC>IBM.

9.Click the OK button.

The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on USB1. Similarly, the DEC printer data that is sent to logical printer PR2 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on USB1.

Adding Strings Before These string functions provide a way to send printer control commands and After Print Jobs before and after each print job. They may be specified individually for

each logical printer.

All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values.
