Features and Benefits
Reliability
The AXIS 5400 print server provides high performance and reliability 
combined with low power consumption. The electronic circuits are 
based on the improved AXIS ETRAX100 chip, which comprises an 
integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers.
Flexibility
It supports printing in all the major computer systems and 
environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP 
environment. 
The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for 
printing from LAN to LAN via a WAN, such as the Internet.
Speed
The AXIS ETRAX 100 chip has been specifically designed for LAN 
products and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct PC-
to-printer connection. With a sustained data throughput of more than 
1 Mbyte per second, the AXIS 5400 is fast. High speed Centronics 
communication such as ECP, Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, High 
Speed and IBM Fast Byte is supported.
Easy to Install
Using the available Axis installation tools, you can install the AXIS 
5400 into any of the supported networking environments in just a few 
minutes.
Security
You can assign passwords to restrict both login and printer access.
Monitoring
The provided AXIS Print System software, the AXIS NetPilot 
software and the internal AXIS 5400 Web pages allow you to 
continuously monitor printer status.
The AXIS Print System and the AXIS Print Monitor can be 
configured to display pop-up messages that show the status of peer-to-
peer print jobs.
The AXIS 5400 additionally supports SNMP for remote monitoring.
