Windows
Environments
Unless you wish to change the default name of your AXIS 540/640
the setup operation within the windows environment may be
performed solely with the AXIS Print Utility for Windows, which is
supplied on the AXIS Utilities diskette.
Having installed the AXIS 540/640 onto your network, the AXIS
Print Utility for Windows may then be used to install and maintain
the print server ports as Windows printer ports. Windows 3.1,
Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, and Windows NT are all
supported.
OS/2 Environments Unless you wish to change the default name of your AXIS 540/640
the setup operation in an OS2 environment may be performed solely
with the supplied AXIS Print Utility for OS2.
Use the AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 to install and integrate the AXIS
540/640 into the OS/2 spool system. The printers attached to the
AXIS 540/640 will appear as connected directly to the file server, and
may be used by any client on your network.
UNIX Environment You can use the AXIS 540/640 as an integral part of your system, so
that the printers appear directly connected to the host print spool. Use
axinstall for the integration. You can also operate the AXIS 540/640 in
an interactive mode to print your host documents.
Several protocols and print methods are provided, the choice of which
is governed by your requirements and the system you are using. Five
print methods are supported in UNIX: LPD, FTP, PROS A,
PROS B, and Reverse Telnet.
The AXIS 540/640 supports any host that uses the TCP/IP protocol
