Character Set Conversion

Example:
Axis NPS 530/532 User's Manual
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 NPS 530/532 solution to this problem is to assign a character set
conversion filter to a logical printer, and link that logical printer to the
host causing the problem.
There are several different filters to choose from, see Printer1 Menu
parameter PR1_CSET in Appendix A. The output from the conversion
filter is always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and that is the character
set the printer must be set up for.
Your network contains three hosts using the character sets IBM PC Set 2,
ISO 8859-2, and DEC. In order to direct their print jobs to the same
printer, for instance LPT1, you should assign each host to a separate logi-
cal printer, and install character set conversion filters. Edit the following
entries in your config file:
PR1_OUT.
PR1_CSET.
PR2_OUT.
PR2_CSET.
PR3_OUT.
PR3_CSET.
The logical printer PR1 prints data transparently without conversion,
PR2 converts ISO 8859-2 data to IBM PC Set 2, and PR3 converts DEC
data to IBM PC Set 2. This will produce correct printouts for all language
specific characters.
