AXIS 5900 User’s Manual

AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network printing 

in Windows 98 and Me environments. AXIS Print Monitor is available 

free of charge on www.axis.com

AXIS Print Monitor allows the print server to be connected in the same 

simple fashion as connecting a local printer. Once installed, it is 

automatically initialized upon system startup. AXIS Print Monitor has 

been developed for peer-to-peer printing, allowing your print jobs to be 

sent directly to the print server.

Printing Environments

AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over TCP/IP (LPR and Raw TCP) and 

NetBIOS/NetBEUI. To enable printing in these environments, please 

ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.

Peer-to-Peer Printing

The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to 

perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor 

allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were connected 

directly to your workstation.

Client/Server Printing

AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to perform 

client/server printing. The installed printers must be configured to be 

shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up messages should not be 

enabled on the server as they will not be displayed on the client 

platforms.

 

AXIS Print Monitor can also be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the AXIS Print Monitor’s 

Readme file for instructions. The Readme file is located in the same folder where AXIS Print 
Monitor is installed on your PC.
