The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ logical printers can translate ASCII print 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.
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.
2. Select the PR2 tab.
3. Set the Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR.
4. Click the OK button.
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.
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.
2. Select the PR2 tab.
3. Set the Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR.
