AXIS 5900 User's Manual
LaserWriter 8.0 Printer
Driver
Bi-directional support
Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:
1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the LaserWriter 8.0 icon.
3. If your network has more than one zone click on the zone you
want. If your network has no zones, this box does not appear.
4. Click the name of the printer you want. The default AXIS 5900
printer names are shown as: AXIS<nnnnnn>_<port>, where
<nnnnnn> is the last six digits of the AXIS 5900 serial number,
and <port> is LPT1 and LPT2 respectively. For example:
AXIS100086_LPT1.
5. Click 'Setup...' and then 'Auto Setup'. If the selected printer
supports bi-directional printing and the appropriate PPD file is
available, the installation is performed automatically and you
can therefore proceed directly to step 7. If this is not the case,
the PPD file must be selected manually, as described in
step 6.
6. Choose the PPD file matching your printer, and click 'OK'.
If your printer does not appear in the PPD file list, please contact
your printer vendor. Use the Generic PPD if you do not need any
printer specific features.
7. Click 'OK', and then click the Close box. This completes the
configuration and closes the Chooser.
Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh computer on the
network using the AXIS 5900.
The AXIS 5900 allows the printer driver to communicate directly
with the printer and consequently facilitates complete functional
control over print jobs, e.g. automatic downloading of fonts not
resident in the printer.
