ASCII to Postscript
Conversion
The AXIS 570/670 MIO 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.
The
AUTO_PS
configuration is used when you are not sure if the print
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:
PR1_FILT. : NONE
PR2_FILT. : POSTSCR
PR3_FILT. : AUTO_PS
