Features and Benefits

Reliability The AXIS 5400 print server provides high performance and reliability combined with low power consumption. The electronic circuits are based on the improved AXIS ETRAX100 chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers.

Flexibility It supports printing in all the major computer systems and environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP environment.

The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for printing from LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet.

Speed The AXIS ETRAX 100 chip has been specifically designed for LAN products and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct PC- to-printer connection. With a sustained data throughput of more than 1 Mbyte per second, the AXIS 5400 is fast. High speed Centronics communication such as ECP, Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, High Speed and IBM Fast Byte is supported.

UNIX
