Setup for Windows 3.1 & WfW

TCP/IP Printing

To enable TCP/IP printing in Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups
environments, it is recommended that you use a shareware LPR spooler that can be
downloaded from ftp://ftp.axis.com/pub/axis/software/prt_srv/utility/wlprs/.

NetBIOS/NetBEUI Printing

AXIS Print Utility for Windows is the preferred tool for NetBIOS/NetBEUI printing
in Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups environments.

Install the AXIS Print Utility for Windows software, if you have not already done so.
It is supplied in the software\prt_srv\utility\axpuw\1.04 folder on the AXIS Online
CD. You can also download it from the Axis WWW home page at
http://www.axis.com/.

This print method is recommended for smaller

networks and requires that all users install the AXIS Print Utility for Windows on
their workstations. Follow these steps to install your AXIS 560/660 for peer-to-peer

to be installed. The ports appear as

, where

is either

AX

followed by the last six digits of the

AXIS 560/660 serial number or a name you have previously given the AXIS
560/660. For example:

AX100B35.LP1

or

DevDept.LP1

.

3. Accept or change the suggested Windows port name, and type any comments in

the Description field. Make a note of the Windows port name as you will need
this later. Click OK to install the Windows port.
