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 printer ports as OS/2 printer
ports.
• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5470e 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 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
1. When AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is running, click Install to install
your AXIS 5470e. The port appear 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.
• 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.
