Connecting a printer to the Ethernet Network

Caution!
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via
the AXIS 570/570e print server.
Make sure that the AXIS 570/570e external power supply is
marked with the correct voltage! Refer to the Power supply table
on page 15.
1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the AXIS 570/570e external
power supply.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 570/570e, and write it down. You will need this number
later during the network configuration.
3. Connect the printer to the LPT1, LPT2 or the COM1 port on
the AXIS 570/570e using an appropriate printer cable.
4. Connect your AXIS 570/570e to the network using a twisted pair
(10baseT), thin wire (10base2) cable or twisted pair category 5
cable (10baseT and 100baseTX).
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 570/570e. The power indicator lights. If the network
indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 570/570e is successfully
connected to the network.
6. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 570/570e to print a
test page. If the printer and the AXIS 570/570e are correctly
connected, the AXIS 570/570e internal test page will be printed.
You are now ready to install your server onto your network using one
of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 30.
