Exceptions Even though the AXIS 5600 is fully compatible with the HP
JetAdmin tool, the AXIS 5600 behaves differently in certain
situations. The exceptions from the traditional HP JetAdmin
functionality are presented below.
The print server
concept
HP JetAdmin considers the AXIS 5600 as one print server,
independently on the number of supported ports. The effects of this
behavior are:
• You can change a printers port’s properties from any of the AXIS
5600 printer ports’ property pages. This can not be done with an
HP print server.
• If you are performing a reset on one of the AXIS 5600 printer
ports, all three ports will be reset.
• From each port you can view all print queues connected to the
print server and not only the queues connected to the specific
printer port. To be able to distinguish between the queues, they
must be named <queue_name>!<logical_printer_number>.
• The AXIS 5600 printer ports have the same name. They are only
distinguished by suffixes. If you change the name on one of the
AXIS 5600 printer ports, all three port names will be changed.
Note that the port names displayed in HP JetAdmin will not
change until one of the refresh commands in the Device Refresh
menu has been performed.
