ASCII to Postscript

Conversion

The AXIS 5600 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. Select the Printer2 Web page.

2. Set the Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR.

3. Click the Submit Printer2 settings 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
