Web-based Print Server Management

All Axis print servers contain an embedded web server that can be accessed with a standard web

browser. The embedded web server provides access to configuration, information and

management pages for the print server and the connected printer. Before you can use the

embedded web server, the print server must be configured with an IP address. See “Web-based

Print Server Management” on page 25.

Upgrading the Print Server’s Firmware

The print server’s firmware* is stored in its Flash memory. Flash memory allows data to be erased

and re-written, which is why you can install firmware updates in your print server as they become

available. New firmware can simply be loaded into the print server via ftp or AXIS ThinWizard

software, page 26.

You can obtain all print server firmware free of charge from www.axis.com or your local dealer.

* Firmware is internal print server software that determines its functionality.
