Section 13 Using Logical Printers
Using Logical Printers to Customize your Printing
The AXIS 5470e has a powerful facility for altering the print data. This
means that your desired print format can be realized on any type of
printer. The following actions can be invoked from the AXIS 5470e:
• The character set can be changed to suit the printer
• Strings can be added before and after the print data
• Strings within the print data can be substituted
• ASCII to PostScript conversion
• Hex Dump mode to assist with printing problems
• Digital Copier support
Logical Printer Settings If any of these actions are required, a Logical Printer is used to
change the print data before being sent to the printer port. There are
eight logical printers (PR1-PR8) that can be set up to filter the print
data.
Configuring The
Logical Printer
Each logical printer can be set up using any standard Web browser or
by directly editing the config file.
To configure the logical printers from the web interface, click admin
and click the Logical Printer Settings button. Select the logical
printer you wish to configure by clicking one of the tabs (PR1 - PR8).
The available options will appear in these pages, depending on which
print server model you have connected.
