Installation Using the Chooser Window

Basic Configuration

Choosing a Printer

Selecting a Printer
Autodetect Printer
Basic configuration in AppleTalk is performed simply by
opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer.
You can change the default name of your AXIS 5800+ Mobile or
any of default parameters by editing the config file. To access
the config file from a Macintosh, you can use:
• any Java enabled Web browser
• FTP using MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie
In order to use any of the methods, you must assign an IP
address to the AXIS 5800+ Mobile as described in Setting
Parameters, on page 74.
The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which
version of LaserWriter printer driver you are using.
• The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard Post-
Script driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer specific
features.
• The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer
descriptions. This gives you full control over any features your
printer might have.
The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you
Type
are using if you enable the 'Autodetect Printer Type'-function.
The print server can then recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard
InkJet printers. Most Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers
that have MacOS printer drivers for network printing are
supported. Without the Autodetect Printer Type function, the
AppleTalk printer type has to be specified manually in the print
