Configuration and Management

You cannot use EPSON Status Monitor 2 with the AXIS
1440 Print Server on Windows workstations.
Use the following tools to configure and manage the AXIS
1440:
Internal Web Pages
If your network supports TCP/IP, you can use any standard
Web browser to access the Web pages stored in the print
server's memory. Use these pages to do the following:
Configuration Change configuration parameters,
including node address and root password;
enable and disable available networking
protocols, or modify their operation.
Management Reset parameters to factory default values;
view basic information about the AXIS
1440, such as current software version,
Ethernet address, serial number, base URL
address, and enabled networking
protocols.
Status View detailed status of the connected
printer ports (for example, number of
bytes printed for each print job).
Acount View an historical record of print job that
includes the user, protocol, file size,
elapsed time, and off-line time.
Printer View detailed information about a printer
connected to the AXIS 1440, including
printer name, model, paper size and
quantity, and ink levels.
AXIS NetPilot
AXIS NetPilot, the recommended configuration and
management tool for NetWare networks, can also be used to
configure other network protocols: NetBIOS/NetBEUI,
TCP/IP, SNMP, and Apple EtherTalk. However, it must be
installed on a Windows workstation connected to a NetWare
or NetBIOS/NetBEUI network.
Configuration Use the Properties window or the
Parameter List Editor to change print
server parameter values.
Networks Use the Network Environment window to
modify network settings for each network
environment defined for your AXIS 1440.
