Section 5 Adding Printers in Macintosh

Having connected the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 to your network, this section now describes how to set up your print server for printing in Mac OS X and earlier Macintosh environments using AppleTalk.

If you intend to use the print server in a multi-protocol environment, refer to the chapters pertaining to the respective operating systems in this manual.

Bonjour Printing in Mac OS X

Bonjour is available from Mac OS X 10.2 and up. Bonjour is enabled by default in the print server. You can alter the Bonjour parameters from the print server’s Web interface: select Admin Network Settings Detailed View TCP/IP Network.

1.From the Apple menu, select Go Applications Utilities and start the Print Center or the Printer Setup Utility.

2.Click Add in the Printer List.

3.From the drop-down list, select Bonjour.

4.High-light the printer you want to install. The print server’s default name is AXISxxxxxx Network Print Server (where the xs represent the last six

digits of the print server’s serial number) followed by the ports available. Example: AXIS610282 Network Print Server_USB1.

5.Select printer manufacturer and model from the drop-down list. (For some printer drivers, Printer Manufacturer and Model are selected automatically.)
