About AXIS Print
Utility for OS/2
AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI
printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:
• Install and maintain the AXIS 5470e/570/650e printer ports as
OS/2 printer ports.
• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS
5470e/570/650e ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server
mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5470e/570/650e can be
monitored and pop-up notification messages can be generated,
keeping you informed of completed print jobs or any problem
condition.
Notes:
Installing the
AXIS 5470e/570/650e
1. When AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is running, click Install to
install your AXIS 5470e/570/650e. The port appears in the list as
<name>.LP1, where <name> is AX followed by the last six digits
of your print server serial number. e.g. AX100086.LP1.
2. Select the port that you want to install, then click Install.
Repeat this procedure for each server using the AXIS 5470e/570/650e.
Note:
• The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS (LAN Server)
or SETUP (LAN Manager) to activate it.
• If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through TCP/IP, we
recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 product. It supports the
LPD and interactive FTP print methods.
The AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 must be running in order to print through your
AXIS 5470e/570/650e. It is strongly recommended that you modify the
startup.cmd file, enabling AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 to automatically start when
your client is re-booted. Instructions are available in the AXIS Print Utility for OS/2
Readme file.
