User’s Printing Guide

This guide covers the procedures needed to set up your workstation for printing through the AXIS 540/640 network print server, once it has been properly installed. If you need further assistance, please ask your Network Administrator or refer to the AXIS 540/640 User’s Manual, or the AXIS 540/640 Quick Installation Guide.

AXIS 540/640 makes printing easier

The AXIS 540/542 and AXIS 640/642 are stand alone network print servers for Ethernet and Token Ring environments respectively. Using the AXIS 540/640 makes it possible to connect your printers anywhere in the network, giving all users access to shared printer resources.

The AXIS 540/640 plugs directly in to your printer and makes it appear as a normal printer when printing from your workstation. Your Network Administrator will have given this printer a name during the installation of the AXIS 540/640. You will need this name when making your printer selection.

Fast and easy to use

You will find that printing via the AXIS 540/640 is very fast due to its rapid data throughput of up to 390 kbytes per second. Also high speed Centronics communication, such as Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, is supported.

The AXIS 540/640 is extremely user friendly, because of its powerful built in features. It can communicate with all the major computer systems and network protocols. These different protocols can be handled simultaneously making the AXIS 540/640 the ideal print server solution for a mixed environment.

Unix

Choose the print instruction appropriate to your type of system:

BSD systems:

System V systems:

AIX systems:

lpr -P<printer name> <file name>

pr -d<printer name> <file name>

qprt -P<printer name> <file name>

Your Network Administrator will be able to supply you with the name of the printer that is suitable for the type of file you wish to print.

AXIS 540/640 specifications

Axis Communications has long been a leader in the realm of network video surveillance, showcasing its innovative technologies and commitment to quality. Two models that exemplify this excellence are the AXIS 540 and AXIS 640. These devices offer an array of features that cater to various surveillance needs, ensuring enhanced security for both businesses and public spaces.

The AXIS 540 is designed with a focus on performance and flexibility. It employs a high-resolution image sensor capable of delivering clear and detailed video even in low-light conditions. With its advanced digital zoom and pan-tilt-zoom capabilities, operators can easily monitor specific areas of interest without sacrificing image quality. This model also supports multiple streaming options, enabling simultaneous video feeds to be sent to different users, thus increasing versatility in surveillance applications.

On the other hand, the AXIS 640 builds on this foundation by introducing cutting-edge features such as Wide Dynamic Range technology. This innovation allows the camera to capture clear images in challenging light situations, where bright and dark areas coexist within the same shot. Users can thus expect enhanced visibility and detail in varied environments, from sunny exteriors to dimly-lit interiors.

Both models incorporate Axis’ proprietary Zipstream technology, which optimizes bandwidth and storage without compromising video quality. This is particularly beneficial in large surveillance setups, as it decreases the amount of data transferred and stored while maintaining essential details for security analysis. The integration of H.264 compression further enriches the performance by significantly reducing file sizes.

In terms of connectivity, the AXIS 540 and AXIS 640 offer robust options, including Power over Ethernet, which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate power supplies. They also come equipped with intelligent video analytics features such as motion detection and alarm management, providing users with proactive monitoring capabilities.

Moreover, both models boast a user-friendly interface for easy configuration and management, ensuring that users can swiftly navigate through the system settings. The cameras are built to endure harsh weather conditions, making them suitable for outdoor use.

In conclusion, the AXIS 540 and AXIS 640 bring together advanced technologies and features that redefine video surveillance standards. Their combination of clarity, flexibility, and intelligent monitoring positions them as invaluable tools for enhancing security across various environments.
