Installation guide

Your shared printers can now be used by all the Windows clients and

you do not need to install the AXIS Print Utility on the clients.

Note:

❏ the server setup should only be made on a Windows for

Workgroups workstation.

The procedures in the following sections describe how to setup the

AXIS 570/670 MIO for peer-to-peer printing. This print method

does not require a file server and is recommended for smaller

networks.

Windows 3.1

Windows 3.1 requires that network support such as LAN Server or

LAN Manager Workstation software is installed in order to redirect a

local printer port to a network device. If this is the case, proceed as

described under Windows for Workgroups below.

Windows for Workgroups

Follow these steps to install your AXIS 570/670 MIO for

peer-to-peer printing at a Windows for Workgroups workstation:

1. Double-click the AXIS Print Utility icon.

2. In the Port menu, click Add.

3. In the NPS Port list, select the AXIS 570/670 MIO port to be

installed. The ports appear as <name>.MIO, where <name> is

AX followed by last six digits of the AXIS 570/670 MIO serial

number. For example: AX570B35.MIO. Note that this

alphanumeric name will be superseded by any new name given to

your AXIS 570/670 MIO when using the AXIS NetPilot™.

4. Accept or change the suggested Windows port name, and type

any comments in the Description field. Make a note of the

Windows port name as you will need this later. Click OK to

install the Windows port.

5. In the Port menu, click Connect to bring up the Windows

Printers dialog.

6. Select a printer driver from the list of Installed Printers, or click

Add>> to install a new driver. Click Connect...

7. Select the Windows port name defined in step 4 above that

should now feature at the bottom of the Ports list.

8. Click OK to close the Connect dialog, and Close to close

Printers.

The setup is completed and you can now print through your AXIS

570/670 MIO.

Important note:

❏ AXIS Print Utility for Windows must be running when you

print through your AXIS 570/670 MIO. We strongly

recommend that you copy the AXIS Print Utility icon into your

StartUp file.
