Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via 
the AXIS 540+/542+ print server.

❏ The AXIS 540+/542+ external power supply you are using must 

be marked with the correct voltage! Refer to Package Contents, on 
page 13.

1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS 

540+/542+ external power supply is disconnected.

2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the 

AXIS 540+/542+, and write it down. You will need this number 
later during the network configuration.

3. Connect the AXIS 540+/542+ to the printer, either directly to the 

parallel printer port, or using the optional printer cable extension 
with the optional velcro ribbons.

4. Connect your AXIS 540+/542+ to the network using a twisted 

pair (10baseT) or thin wire (10base2) cable.

5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to 

the AXIS 540+/542+. The power indicator lights. If the network 
indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 540+/542+ is successfully 
connected to the network.

6. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 540+/542+ to print 

a test page. If the printer and the AXIS 540+/542+ are correctly 
connected, the AXIS 540+/542+ internal test page will be printed.

You are now ready to install your server onto your network using one 
of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 25.
