AXIS 5470e User’s Manual Section 12: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)
161
User Requirements
The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the
AXIS 5470e print server, the IPP function is automatically activated
when you install your AXIS 5470e.
IPP is platform independent.
Firewall Considerations
If there are one or more firewalls between the IPP Client and the
server, you may have to make some changes to the firewall
configuration. IPP uses TCP Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls
between client and server must be configured to allow bi-directional
traffic on that port. Please consult your network administrator if you
think any configuration changes are necessary.
How to print
IPP printing in
Windows 95/98:
In this example the printer’s http: address is
http://171.16.5.218:631/LPT1.
Before you print to an IPP printer you will need to know:
• the http:// address of the print server. The http:// address con-
tains the IP address or host name of the print server and the
printer port name.
• the brand of the printer in order to install the appropriate
printer driver.
• the printer port of the print server to which the printer is con-
nected.
1. Select the IPP printer to which you want to send your document.
