Section 12 IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
Overview
The AXIS 5470e 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 appropri-
ate 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 160.
• The printer to which you want to send your print job needs to be
connected to a server with IPP functionality. AXIS 5470e makes it
possible for your printer to receive printjobs from an IPP client.
The IPP-functionality of the AXIS 5470e print server is automati-
cally activated upon installation.
