Choosing a Printer
Selecting a Printer The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which version
of LaserWriter printer driver you are using.
• The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard
PostScript driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer
specific features.
• The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer
descriptions. This gives you full control over any features your
printer might have.
Note:
LaserWriter 7.0
Printer Driver
Follow the instructions below to choose a printer:
1. Select Chooser from the Apple menu.
2. Click the LaserWriter 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 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+.
The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using if you
enable the ’Autodetect Printer Type’-function. The print server can then
recognize two types of printers, besides the default LaserWriter printer:
EpsonLQ2 and DeskWriter. To enable the ’Autodetect Printer Type’-function,
log in to your print server’s web interface and choose: Admin | Network Settings
| Detailed View | Macintosh | AutoDetectPrinterType | YES. See the print
server’s web interface Help pages for details.
