Connecting the printer to the Network

Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via the AXIS
540/640 print server:
Caution!
The external power supply you are using must be marked with the correct mains voltage! Refer to
Hardware Inventory, on page 6.
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS 540/640 external
power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the AXIS 540/640, and
write it down. You will need this number during the network configuration.
Note:
Each AXIS 540/640 Print Server is pre-configured with a unique node address that is identical
to the serial number.
3. Connect the AXIS 540/640 to the printer either directly to the parallel printer
port or using the optional printer cable extensions and velcro ribbons.
4. Connect your AXIS 540/640 to the network using either a twisted pair
(10baseT) or thin wire (10base2) cable.
5. For the AXIS 640/642 only: Slide the Ring Speed switch to 4 or 16, as appropriate
for your Token Ring network.
6. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to the AXIS
540/640. The power indicator light comes on. If the network indicator starts to
flash, the AXIS 540/640 is successfully connected to the network.
7. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 540/640 to print a test page. If the
AXIS 540/640 is correctly connected to the printer, the AXIS 540/640 internal
test page will be printed.
