Connecting the Printer to the Network
Follow the instructions below to connect your printer to the network:
1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the AXIS 5470e external power supply.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the AXIS 5470e, and write it
down. You will need this number during the network configuration.
Note:
3. Connect the AXIS 5470e to your printer, either directly to the parallel printer port, or
using the optional printer cable extension with the optional velcro ribbons.
4. Connect your AXIS 5470e to the network using an appropriate network cable. If you are
connecting the AXIS 5470e to a Fast Ethernet network, the twisted pair cable must be of
category 5 or better.
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to the AXIS 5470e. The
power indicator lights up. If the network indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 5470e is
correctly connected to the network.
6. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 5470e to print a test page. If the
AXIS 5470e is correctly connected to the printer, a test page will be printed.
Proceed to Setup and Configuration on page 9 to determine which setup procedures that
are relevant to your network environment.
Each AXIS 5470e is pre-configured with a unique node address that is identical to its serial number.
