AXIS 1620 User's Manual Section 8: Setting Up - UNIX
A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different
Character Set
Conversion 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 1620 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
Example:
order to direct its print jobs to the printer connected to the AXIS
1620, 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. Select the Printer1 Web page.
2. Set the parameter Character Set Conversion to ISO>IBM.
3. Click the Submit Printer1 settings button.
The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1
converts to IBM PC Set 2.
