User’s Manual

Section 3: Basic Installation

Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via 
the AXIS 640/642 print server.

❏ The AXIS 640/642 external power supply you are using must be 

marked with the correct voltage! Refer to Section 2  Package 
Contents, on page 13.

❏ DO NOT connect or disconnect the network cabling while AXIS 

640/642 is powered on.

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

640/642 external power supply is disconnected.

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

AXIS 640/642, and write it down. You will need this number 
later during the network configuration.

3. Connect the AXIS 640/642 to the printer, either directly to the 

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

4. Slide the Ring Speed switch towards 4 or 16 depending on the 

ring speed of your network.

5. Connect your AXIS 640/642 to the network using an Shielded 

Twisted Pair (Media Type 1) or Unshielded Twisted Pair (Media 
Type 3) cable.

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

the AXIS 640/642. The power indicator lights. If the network 
indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 640/642 is successfully 
connected to the network.

7. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 640/642 to print a 

test page. If the printer and the AXIS 640/642 are correctly 
connected, the AXIS 640/642 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.
