AXIS 5470e/570/670e User’s Manual Section 12: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)

Section 12 IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
Overview
The AXIS 5470e/570/670e print server enables printing over the
Internet with IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), a developing industry
standard that allows users to print to remote printers across the
Internet.
With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to
any Internet-connected printer. IPP is platform-independent and can
be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.
In practical terms this means that you can send documents to a remote
printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and e-mail, with the
same quality and color options of traditional network printing.
In order to print to a remote printer using IPP, you need the following:
• An IPP client installed on your computer together with
appropriate printer drivers. The IPP client is a tool that adds
destination printers to your printer list. A list of available IPP
clients can be viewed in Currently available IPP clients, on
page 205.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to
be connected to a server with IPP functionality. AXIS
5470e/570/670e makes it possible for your printer to receive
printjobs from an IPP client. The IPP-functionality of the
AXIS 5470e/570/670e print server is automatically activated
upon installation.
