Network Print Server:
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
Redirection of print data to another printer if the printer is busy
Hex Dump mode to assist with printing problems
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.
The default logical printers settings are such that PR1-PR4 cause no 
change to the flow of print data, while PR5-PR8 add CR to LF control 
characters:
Each logical printer can be set via the print servers’ internal Web pages: 
Open a Web browser, enter the IP address of the print server in the 
Location/Address field and choose Admin | Logical Printer Settings
The logical printers can also be set up by editing the config file. 
Notes:
Character Set
Conversion
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.

•  The examples in this section describe how you can configure the available logical printers 
using a standard Web browser. If you want to set them directly by editing the config file, 
just enter the values for the corresponding parameters.
•  The examples should only be viewed as suggestions how to configure the logical printers. 
You should, off course, configure them according to the needs of your network.
•  In the The Parameter List, on page 142, you can find a complete list of the Axis Network
