The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ logical printers can translate ASCII print
Conversion
data into PostScript format. This makes it possible to print on a PostScript
printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion is
selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into Postscript.
This filter can be activated individually for each logical printer.
Activate your desired filter by setting the Printer Language Translation
(PRx_FILT.) parameter.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to convert ASCII print data to PostScript for
logical printer PR2:
1. From the print server's internal Web page, select Admin | Logical
Printers. Printers. Printers. Printers.
2. Select the PR2
3. Set the Printer Language Translation
4. Click the OK
If you select the parameter value AUTO_PS, the print data for every print
job is searched and if any ASCII data is found, it is translated into
PostScript. This setting is recommended if you are not sure if the print
data is ASCII or PostScript.
When a logical printer is set for PostScript conversion, you must specify
the following:
• page size
• page orientation
• page format
• which font to use
The default page size is A4 and the default page orientation is Portrait,
while the page format parameters are as follows:
Page Format Parameter
Lines per page (MPL)
Characters per line (MPP)
Characters per inch (CPI)
Lines per inch (LPI)
Left margin (LM)
Top margin (TM)
The PostScript font can be any font that is installed in the printer. If no
font is specified, Courier will be used.
Example:
Follow the instructions below to set the PostScript parameters for logical
printer PR2:
1. From the print server's internal Web page, select Admin | Logical
Printers. Printers. Printers. Printers.
2. Select the PR2
manuals search engine
PR2 tab.
