Supplied on the AXIS Utilities diskette, the AXIS Print Monitor should be used for network printing within Windows 95 and Windows NT environments. It allows AXIS Network Print Servers to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local printer port and once installed, is automatically initialized upon system startup.

The AXIS Print Utility for Windows is also supplied on the AXIS Utilities diskette and is the tool for network printing within Windows for Workgroups and Windows 3.1 environments.

Follow the instructions on the AXIS Utilities diskette label to install the appropriate printing tool for your environment.

The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation performing peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor then allows users to access to all network printers, just as if they were connected directly to their workstation.
