Your shared printers can now be used by all the Windows clients and
you do not need to install the AXIS Print Utility on the clients.
Note:
❏
the server setup should only be made on a Windows for
Workgroups workstation.
The procedures in the following sections describe how to setup the
AXIS 570/670 for peer-to-peer printing. This print method does not
require a file server and is recommended for smaller networks.
Windows 3.1
Windows 3.1 requires that network support such as LAN Server or
LAN Manager Workstation software is installed in order to redirect a
local printer port to a network device. If this is the case, proceed as
described under Windows for Workgroups below.
Windows for Workgroups
Follow these steps to install your AXIS 570/670 for peer-to-peer
printing at a Windows for Workgroups workstation:
1. Double-click the AXIS Print Utility icon.
2. In the Port menu, click Add.
3. In the NPS Port list, select the AXIS 570/670 port to be installed.
The ports appear as <name>.LP1, <name>.LP2, and
<name>.CM1, where <name> is AX followed by last six digits of
the AXIS 570/670 serial number. For example: AX570B35.LP1
Note that this alphanumeric name will be superseded by any new
name given to your AXIS 570/670 when using the AXIS
NetPilot™.
4. Accept or change the suggested Windows port name, and type
any comments in the Description field. Make a note of the
Windows port name as you will need this later. Click OK to
install the Windows port.
5. In the Port menu, click Connect to bring up the Windows
Printers dialog.
6. Select a printer driver from the list of Installed Printers, or click
Add>> to install a new driver. Click Connect...
7. Select the Windows port name defined in step 4 above that
should now feature at the bottom of the Ports list.
8. Click OK to close the Connect dialog, and Close to close
Printers.
The setup is completed and you can now print through your AXIS
570/670.
Important note:
❏
AXIS Print Utility for Windows must be running when you
print through your AXIS 570/670. We strongly recommend that
you copy the AXIS Print Utility icon into your StartUp file.
