AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network printing in
Windows 98 and Me environments. AXIS Print Monitor is available on the AXIS
Network Product CD and from the Axis Web site.
AXIS Print Monitor allows an AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 to be connected in the
same simple fashion as connecting a local printer. Once installed, it is
automatically initialized upon system startup. AXIS Print Monitor has been
developed for peer-to-peer printing, allowing your print jobs to be sent directly
to the print server.
AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over NetBIOS/NetBEUI and TCP/IP
(LPR and Raw TCP). To enable printing in these environments, please
ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.
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.
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.
AXIS Print Monitor can also be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the
AXIS Print Monitor's Readme file for instructions. The Readme file is located
in the same folder where AXIS Print Monitor is installed on your PC.
1. To start the Add Printer Wizard, select Settings | Printers from the Start
menu and double-click the Add Printer icon.
2. After clicking Next in the first dialog, the Wizard asks you to select between
Local Printer and Network Printer. You must select Local Printer as the AXIS
5500/AXIS 5550. Click Next.
3. Choose the appropriate print driver for your printer. If the desired print
driver already appears within the displayed Manufacturers and printers
lists, highlight your selection, click Next and proceed directly to step 6. It
is only necessary to perform steps 4 - 5 if your printer does not feature in
the model list.
4. Click the Have Disk... button. Insert the printer driver diskette/CD into the
appropriate disk drive of your computer. If the floppy disk drive is A:, then
click OK, otherwise type the letter of your disk drive and then click OK.
