3. Click the name of the printer you want. The default
AXIS 570 MIO printer names are shown as:
AXIS<nnnnnn>_<port>, where <nnnnnn> is the last six digits of
the AXIS 570 MIO serial number, and <port> is MIO. For
example: AXIS100086_MIO.
4. Click the Setup... button, and then the Auto Setup button. If the
printer supports bi-directional printing and the appropriate PPD
file is available, the installation will now be performed
automatically and you should proceed directly to step 6. However,
if this is not the case, the PPD file must then be selected
manually, as described in step 5.
5. Choose the PPD file matching your printer, and click OK.
If your printer does not appear in the PPD file list, contact your
printer vendor. You may also use the Generic PPD if you do not
need any printer specific features.
6. Click OK, and then click the close box. This completes the
configuration and closes the Chooser.
Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh on the network using the
AXIS 570 MIO.
The AXIS 570 MIO allows the print driver in the Macintosh to
directly communicate with the printer and consequently provides the
Macintosh with full access to the printer functionality, e.g. automatic
down-loading of fonts not resident in the printer. It is also able to
generate response messages to Macintosh printer queries, for older
printers without bi-directional support.
This functionality maintains backward compatibility with old printers
and Macintosh computers.
To verify communication to the chosen printer, you simply need to
print a document from the Macintosh. The basic installation can be
considered complete if the print test is satisfactory. The
AXIS 570 MIO is now ready to use as a print server.
