Setup for Windows
To establish communication with the TCP/IP network, you must assign an IP address to
your AXIS 5470e Print Server. Refer to Assigning an IP address on page 10.
Installing Printers in Windows 2000/XP
Use the standard Windows method for adding a printer in Windows 2000/XP:
Go to Start | Settings | Printers and click the Add Printer icon to start the Add Printer
Wizard. Select the appropriate radio button:
• Local printer - If you are connecting directly to the print server (peer-to-peer
printing), select Local Printer and click Next. Click the Create a new port radio
button and select Standard TCP/IP Port from the list. Follow the Add Standard
TCP/IP Port Wizard to complete the installation (You need to know the IP address of
your print server and the model of the connected printer).
• Network printer - If your print server has already been installed by the administrator
on another computer, select Network printer and click Next. Follow the instructions
in the Add Printer Wizard to complete the installation.
Installing Printers in Windows 95/98/NT/Me
AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network printing in Windows
95/98/NT/Me. It allows AXIS Network Print Servers to be connected in the same simple
fashion as a local printer port and once installed, it is automatically initialized upon
system startup.
For peer-to-peer printing, AXIS Print Monitor must be installed on all printing clients,
while it is only necessary to install it on the server for client-server printing.
Install the AXIS Print Monitor software which can be downloaded from the AXIS Network
Product CD or from the Axis Communications web site at http://www.axis.com
To install a printer with AXIS Print Monitor, use the Add Printer Wizard, available in your
Windows operating system. AXIS Print Monitor’s built-in Help system describes how to
install your printers as NetBIOS/NetBEUI, LPR or Raw TCP/IP printers. If you need
additional help, see the AXIS 5470e User’s Manual which is available from the AXIS
Network Product CD or the Axis Web site at http://www.axis.com
Note:
As the AXIS 5470e emulates the behavior of a local printer port, you must select the Local Printer
(Windows 95 and Windows 98) or My Computer (Windows NT) alternative when performing the
instructions in the Add Printer Wizard.
