Basic Installation (Wired & Wireless)
1. Make sure that your printer is switched off and that the AXIS
5900 external power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 5900, and write it down. You will need this number to set
the IP address of the print server.
3. Connect the printer to the LPT1 or the LPT2 port on the AXIS
5900 using an appropriate printer cable.
4. Connect the AXIS 5900 to the wired network using a twisted pair
category 5 cable, 10baseT and 100baseTX.
Note:
You can install the AXIS 5900 without using a network cable, simply skip step 4 in
these instructions.
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 5900. The power indicator will light up. When the
network indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 5900 is successfully
connected to the network.
6. Wait 1 minute. Press the test button on the AXIS 5900 to print a
test page. The test page includes a list of the most important
parameters, including the network speed, firmware version
number and IP address of the print server.
Notes:
The AXIS 5900 uses high-speed Centronics Communication. For use with older
printers not supporting high speed, this function can be disabled by using a
standard web browser. Please refer to Management and Configuration, on page
92, for more information.
