ASCII to Postscript

Conversion

The AXIS 5800+ Mobile 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 can be activated

individually for each logical printer.

Activate your desired filter by setting the Printing Language

Translation (PRx_FILT) parameter.

Example: Follow the instructions below to convert ASCII print data to

PostScript for logical printer PR2:

1. From the print server’s internal web page, select Admin | Logical

Printer Settings.

2. Select the Printer2 tab.

3. Set the Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR.

4. Click the OK button.

If you select the parameter value AUTO_PS, the print data for

every print job is searched and if any ASCII data is found, it is

translated into PostScript. This setting is recommended if you

are not sure if the print data is ASCII or PostScript.

PostScript Settings When a logical printer is set for PostScript conversion, you must

specify the following:

•page size

• page orientation

• page formats

• 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:

Page Format Parameter Default Value

Lines per page 66

Characters per line 0 0=disable line wrap

1 2 ... 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 ... 170 171
