AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual Section 7: Setting Up - Windows
127
Peer-to-Peer Printing AXIS Print System needs to be installed on each workstation to
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, AXIS Print System
allows you to access all network printers, as if they were connected
directly to your workstation. Peer-to-peer printing offers the following
benefits:
• You can easily monitor the status of your printers
• You do not have to rely on a server.
Client-Server Printing You need only install AXIS Print System on one server to perform
client-server printing. The installed printers must be configured to be
shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up messages should not be
enabled on the server, as they will not be displayed on the client
platforms.
Windows 95 and Windows 98
Installing TCP/IP
Printers in
Windows 95/98
Install AXIS Print System software on your Windows 95 or Windows
98 client, if you have not already done so. AXIS Print System can be
downloaded from the AXIS Online CD or from the Axis WWW
home page at http://www.axis.com/.
To enable printing in the TCP/IP environment, you must ensure that
the TCP/IP protocol is enabled on your client.
The set of instructions you should use to install TCP/IP printer ports
is dictated by the IP address of your AXIS 5470e/570/670e:
• If you have an active DHCP server on the network or if you have
already set the IP address of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e using
another method, you should follow the installation instructions
presented in Installing TCP/IP Printer Ports, on page 129.
• If your AXIS 5470e/570/670e is not assigned with a valid IP
address, you should follow the installation instructions presented
in Installing TCP/IP Printer Ports and Setting the IP Address,
on page 128.
