Printer Driver
Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:
1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the LaserWriter 8.0 icon.
3. If your network has more than one zone click on the zone you 
want. If your network has no zones, this box does not appear.
4. Click the name of the printer you want. The default AXIS 5400 
printer name is shown as: AXIS<nnnnnn>_<port>, where 
<nnnnnn> is the last six digits of the AXIS 5400 serial number, 
and <port> is LPT1. For example: AXIS100086_LPT1.
5. Click ‘Setup...’ and then ‘Auto Setup’. If the selected printer 
supports bi-directional printing and the appropriate PPD file is 
available, the installation is performed automatically and you can 
therefore proceed directly to step 7. If this is not the case, the PPD 
file must be selected manually, as described in 
step 6.
6. Choose the PPD file matching your printer, and click ‘OK’.
If your printer does not appear in the PPD file list, please contact 
your printer vendor. Use the Generic PPD if you do not need any 
printer specific features.
7. Click ‘OK’, and then click the Close box. This completes the 
configuration and closes the Chooser.
Repeat this procedure for each Macintosh computer on the network 
using the AXIS 5400.
