AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 User’s Manual

The AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 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 Character Set 

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 

5500/AXIS 5550, 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 USB1.

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 USB1.

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 USB1. Similarly, the DEC printer data that 

is sent to logical printer PR2 converts to IBM PC Set 2 and is printed on 

USB1.

These string functions provide a way to send printer control commands 

before and after each print job. They may be specified individually for 

each logical printer.

All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values.

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

character set DEC.
