AXIS AX-3 Cobra+ Technical Reference 63
Result: The correct characters will be printed if code page 259 is triggered by the host to print
the characters ‘√’, ‘∆’ and ‘Σ’.
String Substitutions
This function is useful when you want to print a document that is prepared for a
different PC type printer than yours.
This function is included as standard in the AXIS 330 and the AX-3 Cobra+ (except in
3812/5219 mode where it is optional). Please contact your dealer/distributor for more
details.
The document contains control commands for a specific printer, and you have to
convert these commands in order to print this document with your printer. Instead of
changing the document, you can let the AXIS protocol converter do the conversion for
you by using String Substitution.
The String Substitution function will search the data stream for a specified sequence of
ASCII characters and substitute them with another sequence. Note that this function
operates after the character and control code conversion.
Example: Assume that you have an HP LaserJet. The document is prepared for an IBM
Proprinter and contains ‘start underline’ and ‘stop underline’ pass-through commands
at several locations. To print the document with an HP LaserJet, the sequences must be
converted.
To ‘start underline’, the IBM Proprinter uses ASCII value string $1B, $2D, $31 and the
HP LaserJet uses $1B, $26, $64, $44.
‘Stop underline’ commands are $1B, $2D, $30 and $1B, $26, $64, $40 respectively.
Below, you will see how to program these substitutions both from a terminal and from
the system.
