IPP - Internet Printing Protocol

Introduced in Firmware Version 6.10
The AXIS 5400+ print server enables printing over the Internet with
IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), a developing industry standard that
allows users to print to remote printers across the Internet.
With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to
any Internet-connected printer. IPP is platform-independent and can
be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.
In practical terms this means that you can send documents to a remote
printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and e-mail, with the
same quality and color options of traditional network printing.
In order to print to a remote printer using IPP, you need the following:
• An IPP client installed on your computer together with
appropriate printer drivers. The IPP client is a tool that adds
destination printers to your printer list. A list of available IPP
clients can be viewed in Currently available IPP clients, on page
124.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to
be connected to a print server with IPP functionality. AXIS
5400+ makes it possible for your printer to receive printjobs
from an IPP client. The IPP-functionality of the AXIS 5400+
print server is automatically activated upon installation.
Note:
IPP requires firmware version 6.10 or higher in your AXIS 5400+ print server.
