Logical Printers for Customized Printing

The AXIS 5570e/AXIS 5670e has a powerful facility for altering the
print data. This means that your desired print format can be realized
on any type of printer. The following actions can be invoked from the
print server:
• The character set can be changed to suit the printer
• Strings can be added before and after the print data
• Strings within the print data can be substituted
• ASCII to PostScript conversion
• Redirection of print data to another printer if the printer is busy
• Hex Dump mode to assist with printing problems
If any of these actions are required, a Logical Printer is used to
change the print data before being sent to the printer port. There are
eight logical printers (PR1-PR8) that can be set up to filter the print
data.
The default logical printers settings are such that PR1—PR4 cause no
change to the flow of print data, while PR5—PR8 add CR to LF control
characters:
Logical Printer
Each logical printer can be set via the print server's internal Web
pages: Open a Web browser, enter the IP address of the print server in
the Location/Address field and select Admin | Logical Printers.
The logical printers can also be set up by editing the config file. See
"Editing the config file" on page 192.
