Note:
AXIS Print Monitor is a tool for network printing in Windows 95, 98,
NT environments. It allows AXIS Network Print Servers to be
connected in the same simple fashion as a local printer port and once
installed, is automatically initialized upon system startup. AXIS Print
Monitor has been developed for peer-to-peer printing, allowing your
print jobs to be sent directly to the print server.
AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over NetBIOS/NetBEUI and
TCP/IP. To enable printing in these environments, please ensure that
the desired printing protocols are running on your client.
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor
allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were
connected directly to your workstation. Peer-to-peer printing offers
the following benefits:
• You can easily monitor the status of your printers, by enabling
error condition pop-up messages.
• You do not have to rely on a server.
AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to
perform client-server printing. The installed printers must be
configured to be shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up
messages should not be enabled on the server as they will not be
displayed on the client platforms.
AXIS Print Monitor can be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the
AXIS Print Monitor's Readme file for instructions. The readme file is
located in the same folder where AXIS Print Monitor is installed on
your PC.
