Section 2: Getting started

Printer Installation

Before you begin:

Make sure that the external power supply is marked with the correct mains voltage.

Attach the NPS 530/532 to your printer’s parallel port and make a test printout:

1.Switch off the printer.

2.Attach the NPS 530/532 to the printer, either directly to the parallel printer port, or using the optional velcro ribbons and printer cable extension.

3.Connect the external power supply. The PACKETindicator will flash during power-on and self-test. When the indicator stops flashing and remains unlit, the NPS 530/532 is ready for use.

4.Switch on the printer.

5.Press and hold the test button until the PACKET indicator starts to flash, then release the button to print a test page.

The test page shows the software revision and the basic setup of your NPS 530/532.

Note: The NPS 530/532 supports high-speed Centronics communication such as Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode. This function is disabled by default, since some printers support standard Centronics only. To activate high-speed Centronics, change the Output Menu parameter L1_CENTR to HISPEED as outlined in Appendix A.

NPS 532, NPS 530 specifications

Axis Communications, known for its innovative network video solutions, has recently introduced its new line of network power supplies, the NPS 530 and NPS 532. These robust devices are designed to meet the increasing power demands of network cameras, ensuring reliable and efficient operation in various surveillance applications.

The Axis NPS 530 and NPS 532 power supplies are engineered for optimal performance in network video installations. One of their main features is their high power output. The NPS 530 provides up to 60 W, while the NPS 532 delivers up to 120 W of power, making them suitable for powering multiple network devices simultaneously. This high power capability allows for the use of more advanced cameras equipped with enhanced features, such as pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality, which can require significantly more power.

Both models are equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, which simplifies installation and reduces the need for additional wiring. PoE enables a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices, making the installation process more efficient and cost-effective. The NPS 530 and NPS 532 support the IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af PoE standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network devices.

Another key characteristic of these power supplies is their resilience and reliability. The rugged design of the NPS series ensures durability in various environmental conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. They are constructed with high-quality components that enhance their longevity, reducing the total cost of ownership over time.

The NPS 530 and NPS 532 also feature advanced thermal management systems. These systems help maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing overheating during prolonged usage. Additionally, both models include LED indicators that provide real-time status updates, allowing users to monitor the operational state at a glance.

In conclusion, the Axis NPS 530 and NPS 532 power supplies stand out in the market for their high performance, advanced PoE technology, and robust design. They offer an ideal solution for modern surveillance needs, ensuring security professionals can deploy powerful network cameras with confidence. With these innovations, Axis Communications continues to set the standard in reliable video surveillance technology.
