AXIS Print Monitor Software

AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network printing in Windows 98 and Me environments. AXIS Print Monitor is available free of charge on www.axis.com

AXIS Print Monitor AXIS Print Monitor allows an AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 to be connected in Overview the same simple fashion as connecting a local printer. Once installed, it is

automatically initialized upon system startup. AXIS Print Monitor has been developed for peer-to-peer printing, allowing your print jobs to be sent directly to the print server.

Printing Environments AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over TCP/IP (LPR and Raw TCP) and NetBIOS/NetBEUI. To enable printing in these environments, please ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.

Peer-to-Peer Printing The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were connected directly to your workstation.

Client/Server Printing AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to perform client/server printing. The installed printers must be configured to be shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up messages should not be enabled on the server as they will not be displayed on the client platforms.

Note:

AXIS Print Monitor can also be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the AXIS Print Monitor’s

Readme file for instructions. The Readme file is located in the same folder where AXIS Print

Monitor is installed on your PC.
