AXIS 540+/AXIS 560

A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different hosts use 
different ASCII character sets. As a result of this, language specific characters 
(such as å ü ô ñ) are sometimes printed incorrectly.

The Axis Network Print Server solution to this problem is to assign a character 
set conversion filter to a logical printer, and then link that logical printer to the 
host causing the problem.

You select your desired conversion filter by setting the 

Conversion (PRx_CSET.) parameter. The output from the conversion filter is 

always IBM PC Set 2 (Code Page 437), and this is the character set the printer 
must be set up for.

In order to direct print jobs to the printer connected to the Axis Network Print 
Server, you should assign the host to a separate logical printer, and install a 
character set conversion filter.

Follow the instructions below to change the conversion filter:

1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select 

2. Select the 

PR1 tab.

3. Set the parameter 

Physical Port to e.g. LPT1.

4. Set the parameter 

Character Set Conversion to ISO>IBM.

5. Click the 

OK button.

6. Select the 

PR2 tab.

7. Set the parameter 

Physical Port to e.g. LPT1.

8. Set the parameter 

Character Set Conversion to DEC>IBM.

9. Click the 

OK button.

The ISO 8859-2 printer data that is sent to logical printer PR1 converts to IBM 
PC Set 2 and is printed on LPT1. Similarly, the DEC printer data that is sent to 
logical printer PR2 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on LPT1.

Your network contains a host using the character set ISO 8859-2 and a host using the 

character set DEC.
