Installing AXIS Print Monitor

Peer-to-Peer Printing
Client-Server Printing
Section 4: Printing from Windows NT 3.5 (TCP/IP)
AXIS Print Monitor is a software utility tool that has been
developed for TCP/IP printing in Windows NT 3.5x environments
and for NetBIOS/NetBEUI printing in Windows 95/98, Windows
NT and Windows 2000 environments. It allows you to connect you
AXIS Network Print Servers in the same simple fashion as a local
printer port. Once installed it is automatically initialized upon
system startup. AXIS Print Monitor supports peer-to-peer printing,
which means that your print jobs are sent directly to the AXIS
OfficeBasic.
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.
