AXIS Print System is the recommended tool to use for network 
printing in Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0 
environments. AXIS Print System allows Axis Network Print Servers 
to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local printer port. 
AXIS Print System has been developed for peer-to-peer printing, 
allowing your print jobs to be sent directly to the AXIS 540/640.

The AXIS Print System is available in an administration version and in 
a user version. The only difference between them is that the 
administration version includes an IP settings application called AXIS 
IP Installer.

Peer-to-Peer Printing

The AXIS Print System needs to be installed on each workstation to 
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print System 
allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were connected 
directly to your workstation. Peer-to-peer printing offers the following 
benefits:

•

You can easily monitor the status of your printers

•

You do not have to rely on a server.

Client-Server Printing

AXIS Print System 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.
