Assign an IP Address to the Print Server, on page 14 3. Making Network Printers available for printing on your PC, on page 18 Connect the Hardware 1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the Power Adapter is disconnected from the print server. 2.
Basic Installation Assign an IP Address to the Print Server Methods for Setting the IP Address You can obtain an IP address for your print server by using one of the following methods, depending on your network operating environment. See IP Addressing, on page 115 for detailed instructions on IP address management.
Basic Installation Notes: • The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 minutes after restarting the print server. • You need root privileges on your UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP and to add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'. • When assigning an IP address manually, you must utilize a unique IP address that is not already in use in your network.
Basic Installation Obtain an IP Address using RARP in UNIX/Linux Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using RARP. Append the following line to your Ethernet Address table. This is typically located in the /etc/ethers file: Example: 00:40:8c:10:00:86 npsname 1. Update, if necessary, your host table and alias name databases as required by your system. 2. If it is not already running, start the RARP daemon.
Basic Installation Notes: • When you execute the ping command for the first time, you will experience a significantly longer response time than is usual. • The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 minutes after restarting the print server. • By using the arp -d command, the static entry in the arp table is removed from the host’s cache memory. Set the IP Address using ARP in UNIX/Linux and Mac OS X 1.

Logical Printers Section 12 Logical Printers The print server has a powerful facility for altering the print data. This means that your desired print format can be realized on any type of printer.
Logical Printers Character Set Conversion A common problem in a multiple host environment is that different hosts use different ASCII character sets. As a result of this, language specific characters (such as å ü ô ñ) are sometimes printed incorrectly. The Axis Network Print Server solution to this problem is to assign a character set conversion filter to a logical printer, and then link that logical printer to the host causing the problem.
Logical Printers Adding Strings Before and After Print Jobs These string functions provide a way to send printer control commands before and after each print job. They may be specified individually for each logical printer. All strings are entered as hexadecimal byte values. Example: Assume that the logical printer PR5 is configured as a PostScript printer and that you want to append the PostScript End of File character (hex 04) after each print job.
Logical Printers Follow the instructions below to substitute command strings: 1. From the print server’s internal Web page, select Admin | Logical Printers. 2. Select the PR1 Web page. 3. Enter the string 01 0A 02 0D 0A in the String Substitutions text field. Hex Code 01 0A 02 0D 0A Explanation length of the string you want to replace the string you want to replace length of the substitute string the substitute string 4. Click the OK button.
Logical Printers ASCII to Postscript Conversion The AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 logical printers can translate ASCII print data into PostScript format. This makes it possible to print on a PostScript printer from a host that does not support PostScript. The conversion is selected by activating a filter that converts ASCII data into Postscript. This filter can be activated individually for each logical printer. Activate your desired filter by setting the Printer Language Translation (PRx_FILT.) parameter.
Logical Printers 3. Set the Printer Language Translation parameter to POSTSCR. 4. Set the PostScript Page Size parameter to LETTER. 5. Set the PostScript Page Orientation parameter to LANDS. 6. Enter the string 48 0 120 60 30 50 in the PostScript Page Format text field. Hex code 48 0 120 60 30 50 Explanation 48 lines per page disable line wrap 120 = 12 characters per inch 60 = 6 lines per inch 30 = 3 mm left margin 50 = 5 mm top margin 7. Enter the string Helvetica in the PostScript Font text field. 8.
Logical Printers Read Back of information The AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 supports bi-directional printing. The information from the printer is read back on the parallel port when the parameter Read Back Port (PRx_IN.) has the default setting of AUTO. However, it is required that the printer also supports bi-directional printing. Please refer to your printer documentation for further details regarding bi-directional printing support.
IP Addressing Section 13 IP Address and Subnet Mask IP Addressing The print server must be correctly configured with the following information to function properly: • • • an IP address a subnet mask a default gateway (or router) IP Address Each device on your network must have a unique IP address to operate correctly. An IP address identifies the address of the device to which data is being sent and the address of the destination network. IP addresses have the format n.n.n.
IP Addressing Type Two In larger (Class B) networks, where there are more devices, the IP address of ‘162.168.3.191’ is split into two parts but is structured differently: • Part one (‘162.168’) identifies the network on which the device resides. • Part two (‘.3.191’) identifies the device within the network. This type of IP Address operates on a subnet mask of ‘255.255.0.0’. Default Gateway Examples 1.
IP Addressing Auto-IP Addressing Network devices use automatic IP addressing if they are configured to acquire an address using DHCP but are unable to contact a DHCP server. Automatic IP addressing is a scheme where devices allocate themselves an IP address at random from the industry standard subnet of 169.254.x.x (with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0). If two devices allocate themselves the same address, the conflict is detected and one of the devices allocates itself a new address.
IP Addressing Setting the IP Address using DHCP Follow the instructions below to download the IP address using DHCP: 1. Edit or create a scope in the DHCP manager of the DHCP daemon. The entries included in this scope should contain the following parameters: • range of IP addresses • subnet mask • default router IP address • WINS server IP address(es) or DDNS server IP address(es) • lease duration 2. Activate the scope. The print server automatically downloads the DHCP parameters.
The Test Button Section 14 The Test Button The test button is located on the front right hand side of the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 and is used for: • Printing a test page to check the connection to the printer. • Printing a parameter list to see the print server’s current settings. • Performing a Factory Default of the print server. If you want to change any of the parameters, use one of the methods described in Management and Configuration, on page 84.
