  • Page 6: Introduction

    Section 1: Introduction Section 1 Introduction The Axis NPS 530 and 532 are plug-in network print servers for the Ethernet environment. There is no functional difference between them; it’s only the network connector that differs. The NPS 530/532 connects your printer directly to your Ethernet network, no matter if you are using a PC or PS/2 system.

  • Page 7: How It Works

    Each packet contains information about the sender, the receiver, how to unpack the packet, and the data itself. The NPS 530/532 acts as a node in the Ethernet network, with its own unique address. It receives the packets addressed to it, unpacks them, and converts the print data to a format suitable for standard printers.
  • Page 8 Remote Printer. At power-on it will log in and attach to up to eight specified NetWare print servers. Windows The NPS 530/532 is set up using the supplied Axis Print Utility for Windows. You may print through a server (client-server), or directly (peer- to-peer). The supported platforms are Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT.

  • Page 9: Main Features

    Section 1: Introduction Main Features Reliability The Axis NPS 530/532 hardware provides high performance and reliability combined with low power consumption. It is based on the Axis ETRAX chip with an integrated 32 bit RISC CPU and Ethernet controller.
