About AXIS Print

Utility for OS/2

AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI

printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:

• Install and maintain the AXIS 5400 printer ports as OS/2 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.

Notes: ❏ The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS

(LAN Server) or SETUP (LAN Manager) to activate it.

❏ If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through

TCP/IP, we recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2

product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print methods.

Installing the

AXIS 5400

1. When AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is running, click Install to

install your AXIS 5400. The port appears in the list as

<name>.LP1, where <name> is AX followed by the last six digits

of your print server serial number. e.g. AX100086.LP1.

2. Select the port that you want to install, then click Install.

Repeat this procedure for each server using the AXIS 5400.

Note: ❏ The AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 must be running in order to

print through your AXIS 5400. It is strongly recommended that

you modify the startup.cmd file, enabling AXIS Print Utility for

OS/2 to automatically start when your client is re-booted.

Instructions are available in the AXIS Print Utility for OS/2

Readme file.
