Section 10: IPP

 

 

How It Works

In order to print using IPP, you need to be able to access a printer which is connected to the AXIS 5400, which has integrated IPP. Once you have access to the destination printer, you are ready to print to the printer of your choice via, for example, the Internet.

The URL for the destination printer is defined in the print server host name, the port number and the local printer name, in that order. When using IPP printing over the Internet with the AXIS 5400, the host name used for the Axis print server could be “axisps”, for example. The port number used is 631, followed by the local printer name (Ex. LPT1).

A walk-through example of the IPP printing process is perhaps the best way to describe the IPP functionality:

1.As a LAN-user in a Windows environment, you wish to print a document on a color printer which is integrated in another LAN and located in another city.

2.Proceed with selecting the IPP printer to which you want to send

your document from your Printer Name list (In File Print). The name structure of the printer begins with http://axisps:631/....

3.If your destination printer URL does not exist in your Printer Name list, you need to add it. (See the examples below for Windows environments).

4.When you press Print, the print job is sent over the Internet to the AXIS 5400 print server which sends the job to the destination printer.
