AXIS 540+/AXIS 560

The AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 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.
