Management and Configuration

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 their print jobs to the printer connected to the Axis Network Print Server, you should assign each host to a separate logical printer, and install a character set conversion filter.

The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on LPT1. Similarly, the DEC printer data that is sent to logical printer PR2 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on LPT1.

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.

Example:

Assume that the logical printer PR5 is configured as a PostScript printer and that you want to append the PostScript End of File character (hex 04) after each print job.
