Verifying the Setup

4.Click the name of the printer you want — the ports are shown as <host name>_<port>. Example: AXIS100086_LPT1.

5.Click the Close box. This completes the configuration and closes the Chooser.

Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh computer on the network using the print server.

Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:

1.Select Chooser from the Apple menu.

2.Click the LaserWriter 8.0 icon.

3.If your network has more than one zone click on the zone you want. (If your network does not have any zones, this box will not appear.)

4.Click the name of the printer you want — the ports are shown as <host name>_<port>. Example: AXIS100086_LPT1.

5.Click Setup... and then Auto Setup. If the selected printer supports bi- directional printing and the appropriate PPD file is available, the installation is performed automatically and you can therefore proceed directly to step 7 (if this is not the case, the PPD file must be selected manually, as described in step 6).

6.Choose the PPD file matching your printer, and click OK.

If your printer does not appear in the PPD file list, please contact your printer vendor. Use the Generic PPD if you do not need any printer specific features.

7.Click OK, and then click the Close box. This completes the configuration and closes the Chooser.

Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh computer on the network using the print server.

The AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 allows the printer driver to communicate directly with the printer and consequently facilitates complete functional control over print jobs, e.g. automatic downloading of fonts not resident in the printer.

This functionality has backward compatibility with older printers and Macintosh computers, which means that the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 can generate appropriate responses to Macintosh printer queries when the connected printer does not support bi-directional communication.

You simply need to print a document from the Macintosh computer to verify communication to the chosen printer. The basic installation can be considered complete if the print test is satisfactory. The AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 is now ready for use.
