Section 5: Setting Up Windows Workstations

Note:

❏

It’s a good idea to copy the AXIS Print Utility for Windows icon

 

 

into your Startup folder, since it must be running whenever you

 

 

use the AXIS 1440 for peer-to-peer printing.

Client-Server Printing:

Follow these steps to set up a Windows for Workgroups workstation

Server Setup

as a server:

 

1.

Choose a workstation that you want to use as a server for network

 

 

printing. The server must be available at all times and must have

 

 

sufficient hard disk space for spooling print jobs.

 

2.

Make sure that the printer sharing option is enabled. (Open

 

 

Network Setup, click Sharing..., then check the ‘I want to be able

 

 

to allow others to print to my printer(s)’ box.)

 

3.

Install AXIS Print Utility for Windows on the server.

 

4.

Configure the server’s printer port to use the AXIS 1440. (Follow

 

 

the instructions under Peer-to-Peer Printing on page 43.)

 

5.

Open Print Manager and select your EPSON printer.

Note:

 

Print Manager must be enabled for your EPSON printer before

 

 

you can share the printer. If necessary, open the Printers group in

 

 

the Control Panel, select your printer, and check the Use Print

 

 

Manager box.

 

6.

In the Printer menu, select Share Printer As...

 

7.

Type a printer name in the Share As field (this is the printer name

 

 

seen by the clients).

 

8.

Check the Re-share at Startup box, then click OK.

 

Server setup is now complete. Now you’re ready to set up the client

 

workstations.

Note:

❏

It’s a good idea to copy the AXIS Print Utility for Windows icon

 

 

into the server’s Startup folder. Both AXIS Print Utility for

 

 

Windows and Print Manager must be running whenever clients

 

 

access the server for client-server printing.
