About

AXIS Print Utility

for Windows

AXIS Print Utility for Windows is an application for network printing

in the Windows environment. It allows you to:

• Install and maintain AXIS 5400 printer ports as Windows printer

ports.

• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5400 ports.

Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local

hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server

mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5400 can be monitored

and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you

informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.
