Using a Web Browser for Print Server Management

Once you have established the Axis Network Print Server in the TCP/IP environment, as described in “Assigning an IP Address to the Print Server” on page 16, you are free to access the Axis Network Print Server Web pages from any standard Web browser.

The Web interface of the Axis Network Print Server is divided into two modes of operation, User mode and Admin mode:

User In User mode you can change language, but you have no rights to change any other parameters. However, if you have access rights to the Admin mode, you can change some of the basic parameters from User mode via the Configuration Wizard. This mode is intended for regular users who are only interested in using the print server's interface for checking print jobs or viewing printer properties. If you want to change any other of the print server's settings, you must enter the Admin mode.
