ASCII to Postscript
Conversion
AXIS 540/640 User's Manual
The AXIS 540/640 logical printers can translate ASCII print data into
PostScript format. This makes it possible to print with 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 may be activated individually for each logical
printer.
Example:
The following entries in your config file will allow print data
applied to PR1 to pass without changes, print data applied to PR2
will be converted from ASCII to PostScript, and PR3 data will be
searched - any ASCII data will be converted to PostScript, while
PostScript data will be allowed to pass without change.
PR1_FILT. : NONE
PR2_FILT. : POSTSCR
PR3_FILT. : AUTO_PS
The configuration is used when you are not sure if the print
AUTO_PS
data is ASCII or PostScript.
When a logical printer is set for PostScript conversion it needs to
know the page size, page orientation, page formats and which font is
to be used. The default page size is A4 and the default page orientation
is Portrait, while the page format parameters are:
