Installing the AXIS 150/152

You should proceed with the following instructions, as appropriate
for your type of network. Refer to all relevant sections if you intend
to use the AXIS 150/152 in a multiprotocol environment.

Hardware Installation

1. Note the serial number found on the underside label of the AXIS
150/152. You need this number during the configuration.

2. Switch off the printer. Remove the AXIS 150/152 power supply.

3. AXIS 150 only: Connect your AXIS 150 to the network using a
shielded twisted pair (10baseT) cable.

4. AXIS 152 only: Connect your AXIS 152 to the network using a
shielded thin wire (10base2) cable.

5. Switch on the printer. Connect the AXIS 150/152 power supply.

6. Ensure that the Network Indicator is flashing. To check the
connections, print a Test Page by depressing the Test Button.

NetWare

By following the instructions detailed below, install your AXIS

150/152 with the AXIS NetPilot™ installation Wizard. Please note
that the AXIS NetPilot™ software requires a Windows platform
that uses NetWare or NetBIOS/NetBEUI.

1. Load the AXIS NetPilot™ software by following the instructions
on the label of the AXIS Utilities diskette. After loading the
software, double click on the AXIS NetPilot™ icon. AXIS
NetPilot™ then scans the network of all connected Axis
Network Print Servers.

2. AXIS units previously installed using the AXIS NetPilot™
appear as ‘Network Print Servers’ and un-installed units are
featured as ‘New Axis Units’. Select your AXIS 150/152 from the
‘New Axis Units’ sub-folder and then click the Install icon. The
installation Wizard guides you through the basic installation.

Click the Help icon should you require assistance throughout any
stage of the operation.

NetWare

To set up print queues:

1. Open the ‘Network Print servers’ folder and select the Network
Print Server you wish to set up.

2. Choose ‘Network’ from the Toolbar or Setup menu.

3. A new ‘Network environments’ window will now be open. From

this window you may create new print queues, connect to
previously established queues, and/or select the mode of
operation (Print Server or Remote Printer) for each printer.

To set up the advanced operating parameters:

1. Open the ‘Network Print Server’ folder and select the Network
Print Server you wish to setup.

2. Choose ‘Properties’ from the Toolbar or Setup menu.

3. A set of “tabbed” Property Pages will open which allow you to
refine the chosen mode of operation. e.g. password protection,
frame type selection and/or setting of the queue polling interval.

The NetWare Configuration is now complete and you can close the
AXIS NetPilot™.

To verify that the AXIS 150/152 is functioning correctly, we
recommend that you print a document from within a Windows
application, e.g. Microsoft Word. Please ensure that your printer is
selected as the Active Printer!

Windows

Supplied on the AXIS Utilities diskette, the AXIS Print Monitor
should be used for network printing within Windows 95 and
Windows NT environments. It allows AXIS Network Print Servers
to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local printer port and
once installed, is automatically initialized upon system startup.
