AXIS Print Monitor Overview

AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network

printing in Windows NT 3.5x environments. It allows AXIS Network

Print Servers to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local

printer port and once installed, is automatically initialized upon

system startup. AXIS Print Monitor has been developed for peer-to-

peer printing, allowing your print jobs to be sent directly to the print

server.

Printing Environments AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over NetBIOS/NetBEUI and

TCP/IP (LPR). To enable printing in these environments, please

ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.
