Before adding a printer to Windows, you must select the appropriate printing protocol.
The following table provides additional information that may help you understand the
two printing protocols available with your EasyCoder Ethernet printer. If you are unsure
which protocol to select, review this information with your network administrator.
Protocol Protocol Description
NetBIOS/NetBEUI
LPR (TCP/IP)
If an IP address is required by your PC, you can assume that the printer also needs an IP
address. You can check your PC for an IP address by accessing Windows Control Panel
and clicking on the Network icon. Check the list for an installed TCP/IP component. If
you find one, assume that your network requires an IP address and contact your network
administrator to request a new IP address for your EasyCoder printer. For information
about assigning an IP address to the printer, see the procedures in Chapter 1.
If you do not find an TCP/IP component, you still may require an IP address if you will
be printing to the EasyCoder printer across a subnet.
If you selected TCP/IP because you will be printing across subnets, you must determine
if subnet routers let BOOTP and DHCP packets pass through. If they do, you can
simply request an IP address for your printer and complete the installation. However, if
Peer-to-peer printing.
Restricted to the same subnet or networks without subnets.
NetBIOS/NetBEUI is not a routable protocol.
No IP Address is necessary.
With AXIS Print Monitor installed, EasyCoder printer ports will be
automatically listed in the ports list.
Format for NetBIOS/NetBEUI port is <name>.LP1 where <name>
is AX followed by last six digits of the AXIS Ethernet adapter
serial number (for example, AX560B35.LP1 ).
The network administrator may change the port name later, if
required.
Peer-to-peer printing.
Not restricted to the same subnet. Possible to print across the
Internet.
IP Address is required for the printer.
Ports must be added manually.
UNIX LPR style printing. Logical printer name, name of printer, or
print queue must be set to PR1.
