Test Button

The test button is used for:

•

printing a test page to check the connection to the printer

•

printing the parameter list showing the print server settings

•

performing a Factory Default of the print server, which will restore 
most of the parameters and settings to factory default values

See “The Test Button” on page 129 for details.

Network Indicator

The network indicator flashes to indicate network activity.

Power Indicator

The power indicator is lit while power is applied. If it is not lit, or if it 

flashes, there is a problem with the print server or its Power Adapter. 

Compatible Printers

All printers can be used except host-based printers (also known as CAPT, 

GDI, PPA or Windows-based printers).

Using the supplied clips, your AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 can be mounted in 

many ways, e.g. on the back of the printer, on a wall. It can be placed 

behind the printer or next to a switch or a hub.

AXIS 5550 can also be inserted directly into the parallel port of the 

printer.

The print server can be configured and managed from its internal Web 

pages, using HTTP as well as HTTPS in the secure mode. These Web pages 

offer you a platform independent management tool that is suitable for all 

supported network environments. See Using a Web browser for Print 

Reliability

The print server provides high performance and reliability combined with 

low power consumption. The electronic circuits are based on the AXIS 

ETRAX 100 LX chip, which comprises an integrated 32 bit RISC processor 

and associated network controllers.
