Note:
The examples in this section describe how you can configure the available logical
printers using a standard Web browser. If you want to set them directly by
editing the config file, just enter the values for the corresponding parameters.
The examples should only be viewed as suggestions how to configure the logical
printers. You should, off course, configure them according to the needs of your
network.
In 13 - The Parameter List, on page 143, you can find a complete list of the AXIS
5400+ parameters.
Refer to Section 9 Management & Configuration, on page 92, for more
information about the available management tools.
A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different
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.
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. From the print server's internal web page, select Admin | Logical
Printer Settings.
2. Choose the PR1 tab.
3. Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to ISO>IBM.
