ASCII to Postscript
Conversion
The AXIS 5400+ 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 when finished.
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
