General The USB port in an AXIS 5500 / AXIS 5550 supports USB printers only. If any other USB device has been connected to this port, the print server must be restarted before it can function properly again.

Overriding Port Status Some USB printers do not deliver correct port status to the print server (for instance always reporting printer off-line even if the printer is on- line). To override this, see “Overriding Port Status” on page 123.
