The AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 logical printers can translate ASCII print data 

into PostScript format. This makes it possible to print on 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 Printer Language Translation 

(PRx_FILT.) parameter.

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 

2. Select the 

PR2 tab.

3. Set the 

Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR.

4. Click the 

OK 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.
