Peer-to-Peer Printing
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print
Monitor allows you to access all network printers, just 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, by enabling
error condition pop-up messages.
• You do not have to rely on a server.
Client-Server Printing AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed 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.
