possible to disable protocols and to configure a secure mode (https).

Monitoring The internal print server Web pages and AXIS ThinWizard (3.0 and up)

allow you to continuously monitor printer status. The Web pages are used to monitor single Axis units while AXIS ThinWizard can be used to monitor multiple Axis units.

Through e-mail notification, the printer administrator can be notified by e-mail whenever an event that requires human intervention occurs in a printer. The e-mail contains a short and concise description of the event.

Future Proof The firmware stored in the print server Flash memory can be upgraded

over the network. This allows you to quickly update and enhance its operational features when new print server software becomes available.

NetWare Packet

Signature

The print server supports NetWare Packet Signature Level 1, 2, 3, which protects servers and clients using the NetWare Core Protocol

Notes:

• The ability to set the IP address with ARP and PING will only be enabled the first 10 minutes after restarting the print server.

• You need root privileges on your UNIX, Linux and Mac OS X system, or administrator privileges on a Windows NT server to set the IP address using RARP, BOOTP, DHCP and to add an entry to the ARP table with the command 'arp -s'.

• When assigning an IP address manually, you must utilize a unique IP address that is not already in use in your network.

Automatic IP Address Assignment

Basic Installation

using BOOTP

in UNIX/Linux

If you have a DHCP server on your network, your print server will automatically obtain an IP address when you connect it physically to the network. The IP address will appear on the test page that is printed when you press the test button once.

Below is an example of how to set the IP address of the print server using BOOTP. Append the following entry to your boot table. This is typically performed by editing the file:

Example:

Example:Example:

npsname:ht=ether:vm=rfc1048:\ :ha=00408c100086:ip=192.168.3.191:\ :sm=255.255.255.0:gw=192.168.1.1

Client/Server Network For client/server printing, each computer sends print jobs through a

network server computer.

The printer must first be installed on the server computer (from the Add Printer Wizard, AXIS Print Monitor) and then shared on the network, which makes it a network printer. It will then appear as a Network Printer (in Windows Add Printer Wizard and in AXIS Print Monitor) on the client computers. Each client computer must install the appropriate printer drivers in order to print properly.

For Windows 98 and Me, it is only necessary to install AXIS Print Monitor on a server for client/server printing.

Peer-to-Peer Network In Peer-to-Peer networks, each computer prints directly to the network

printer. The network printer appears as a Local Printer (in Windows Add Printer Wizard and in AXIS Print Monitor), and needs to be added to each

Adding Printers in Windows

AXIS Print Monitor Software

AXIS Print Monitor is the recommended tool to use for network printing in Windows 98 and Me environments. AXIS Print Monitor is available free of charge on www.axis.com

AXIS Print Monitor

Overview

AXIS Print Monitor allows the print server to be connected in the same simple fashion as connecting a local printer. Once installed, it is automatically initialized upon system startup. AXIS Print Monitor has been developed for peer-to-peer printing, allowing your print jobs to be sent directly to the print server.

Printing Environments AXIS Print Monitor supports printing over TCP/IP (LPR and Raw TCP) and

NetBIOS/NetBEUI. To enable printing in these environments, please ensure that the desired printing protocols are running on your client.

Peer-to-Peer Printing The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to

perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print Monitor allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were connected directly to your workstation.

Client/Server Printing AXIS Print Monitor 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.

Note:

AXIS Print Monitor can also be used for DOS printing. Please refer to the AXIS Print Monitor’s Readme file for instructions. The Readme file is located in the same folder where AXIS Print Monitor is installed on your PC.

Adding Printers in Macintosh

Installation on Mac OS 9.1 or older, using AppleTalk

Basic Configuration On Mac OS 9.1 or older, basic configuration in AppleTalk is performed

simply by opening the Chooser window and selecting a printer.

You can change the default name of your print server or any of default parameters by editing the print server’s config file. To access the config file from a Macintosh, you can use:

• any Web browser with Javascript enabled

• FTP using MacTCP, Fetch or Anarchie

In order to use any of these methods, you must assign an IP address to the print server as described in “Setting Parameters” on page 40.

Choosing a Printer

Selecting a Printer The method for choosing a printer varies depending on which version of

LaserWriter printer driver you are using.

Autodetect Printer

Type

• The LaserWriter 7.0 driver assumes that you use a standard PostScript driver, and cannot take advantage of any printer specific features.

• The LaserWriter 8.0 driver uses PPD files that contain printer descriptions. This gives you full control over any features your printer might have.

The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using if you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for network printing are supported. Without the Autodetect Printer Type function, the AppleTalk printer type has to be specified manually in the print server. For Epson InkJets it would be "EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print server does not recognize the connected printer, the default setting "LaserWriter" will be used as printer type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used with all PostScript printers.

See the Help pages in the print server’s Web interface for details.

Bi-directional

Support

The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ allows the printer driver to communicate directly with the printer and consequently facilitates complete functional control over print jobs, e.g. automatic downloading of fonts not resident in the printer.

This functionality has backward compatibility with older printers and Macintosh computers, which means that the AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ can generate appropriate responses to Macintosh printer queries when the connected printer does not support bi-directional communication.

Verifying the Setup You simply need to print a document from the Macintosh computer to

verify communication to the chosen printer. The basic installation can be considered complete if the print test is satisfactory. The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ is now ready for use.

BCP and TBCP You should specify if you want to enable or disable binary transfer of

Notes:

print data in the print server’s Web interface (Admin | Network Settings | Detailed View | Macintosh | Binary Protocol for Printer n. By enabling

binary transfer you reduce printing time, provided that the print job is sent as binary data to the print server. This is particular true when you are printing large bitmaps.

• TBCP enables the print server to use the TBCP (Tagged Binary Communication Protocol) to transfer print data to the printer. Select this alternative when using Postscript printers.

• BCP enables the print server to use the BCP (Binary Communications Protocol) to transfer print data to the printer. Select this alternative when using Postscript printers.

• None disables all binary transfers, select this alternative for all nonPostScript printers and for ASCII PostScript printing.

• Some printers, e.g. Epson InkJet printers, can not be used when TBCP is enabled.

Setting Parameters In AppleTalk, you can change a limited number of the parameters of the

AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+, such as:

• enable and disable binary data transfers for your printing

• select the type of binary transfer protocol to use

• specify the AppleTalk printer type

• set the IP address

However, by assigning an IP address to your print server, you have access to all of the print server parameters via any standard Web browser or via FTP. Refer to Section 10 Management and Configuration, on page 83 for more information.

Follow the instructions below to set the print server parameters in AppleTalk:

Setup using iPrint

Adding Printers in NetWare

When you have completed these steps, you are ready to start printing.

• The Public Access print servers are immediately available for everyone on the network

• The Axis Gateway Configuration Utility is an installation and configuration tool for NDPS printers in the NetWare environment. The Axis Gateway will appear in NetWare 5.1 and later releases. You can download the Axis Gateway Configuration Utility for use with earlier versions of NetWare from www.axis.com.

• To print using TCP/IP, Axis print server firmware 6.1 or later is required. In order to print using IPX/SPX, Axis print server firmware 5.51 or later is needed.

iPrint is Novell's next generation of printing software that lets users print to and from all destinations.

A standard Web page displays available printers to the user. By clicking a printer, the iPrint client is installed (if not installed previously), the printer's driver is downloaded, and a printer is created in the user's Printer folder, enabling the user to send documents to the printer from any application on the desktop.

An iPrint printer can by locally installed on the workstation in two ways:

• Using the iPrint Client

• Using the MS Add Printer Wizard at the workstation. See “Using the Add Printer Wizard” on page 56.

In order for users to use iPrint, they need to install the Novell iPrint Client software and a printer. When a user selects a printer to be installed by iPrint, iPrint checks to see if the Novell iPrint Client software is installed and then installs it if necessary. Then the printer driver is downloaded and the printer is installed in the user's Printer folder.

In order for iPrint to work properly, the workstation should have the following:

• Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT/2000/XP

• Web browser with JavaScript enabled:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later

• Netscape 4.76 (iPrint is not supported on Netscape 6)

The user should use the following iPrint url: http://<IP address of your NW server>:631/IPP

1. From a Netscape or Internet Explorer browser, enter the provided URL. A Web page displays a listing of available printers to install and a link to install the client software.

2. Select Install iPrint client software

Install iPrint client software to locally install the iPrint printers. If

Any configuration and management of the Axis Network Print Server can be performed from any standard Web browser. Please refer to “Using a Web Browser for Print Server Management” on page 83.

If both the IPX and IP protocols are enabled in your network and the print server uses DUAL_STACK (enabled by default) as its network transport protocol, then IPX will be chosen. To force the print server to use the IP transport protocol, go to your print server’s Web interface and choose Admin | Detailed View | NetWare and change the NetWare Transport Protocol from DUAL_STACK to IP_ONLY. Save and exit when finished.

Pure IP requires that you run NetWare 5 or higher.

The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the two supported queue-based printing methods.

Print Server Mode

The Axis Network Print Server logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server emulates a NetWare print server, which is a workstation running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network load and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each print server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license.

The Axis Network Print Server acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running on the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server emulates a workstation running the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is only recommended for small networks where the number of NetWare user licences is a major issue.

Advantages • NetWare user licences are not required.

Limitations • Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM and higher

network load.

Using Novell Utilities After installing the Axis Network Print Server into the NetWare

environment, you can manage your Axis Network Print Server, using either Novell’s NetWare Administrator, or PCONSOLE.

NetWare Administration

Some useful features provided by the NetWare Administrator are described in more detail below: Printer Status: The Printer Status menu, detailed below, shows the status of an active print job serviced by an Axis Network Print Server. It displays detailed information concerning the active job including, Print Queue, print job description, size of print file, percentage of job completed, etc. You can also abort or pause the print job from this menu.

Notification: You can use the NetWare Administrator to enable or disable status notification messages for printers connected to the AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+, e.g. Busy, Off-line, Out of paper, Paper jam, etc. You can also add or remove print job owners and administrators from the list of persons to be notified. Print Layout: You can view installed AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ and their relative print queues for any NetWare Organizational Unit. You can also display summary information by right-clicking on the printer object you want to examine.

Important!

• Do not edit the /etc/printcap file. Each time the printer deamon (lpd) is started /restarted, a new /etc/printcap file is dynamically created.

• If you want to add a printer without using printconf, edit the /etc/printcap.local file. The entries in /etc/printcap.local are not displayed in printconf but are read by the printer daemon.

• If you upgrade your system from a previous version of Red Hat Linux, your existing configuration file is converted to the new format used by printconf. Each time a new configuration file is generated by printconf, the old file is saved as /etc/printcap.old.

• If you add a new print queue or modify an existing one, you need to restart the printer daemon (lpd) for the changes to take effect.

• Clicking the Apply button saves any changes that you have made and restarts the printer daemon. The changes are not written to the /etc/printcap configuration file until the printer daemon (lpd) is restarted. Alternatively, you can choose File => Save Changes and then choose File => Restart lpd to save your changes and then restart the printer daemon.

• If a printer appears in the main printer list with the Queue Type set to INVALID, the printer configuration is missing options that are required for the printer to function properly. To remove this printer from the list, select it from the list and click the Delete button.

SuSE 8.0

Adding Printers in UNIX/Linux

The printing system on SuSE Linux is based on an apsfilter, with some enhancements; SuSE's apsfilter will recognize all common file formats (including HTML, if html2ps is installed).

There are two ways to setup printers on SuSE systems:

• YaST2 will let you configure "PostScript", "DeskJet" and "Other printers", supported by Ghostscript drivers; it's also possible to setup HP's GDI printers (DeskJet 710/720, 820, 1000, via the "ppa" package). YaST2 will provide /etc/printcap entries for every printer ("raw", "ascii", "auto" and "color", if the printer to configure is a color printer). YaST2 will create spool directories and it will arrange apsfilterrc files, where you're able to fine tune some settings (Ghostscript preloads, paper size, paper orientation, resolution, printer escape sequences, etc.). With YaST2 it's also possible to setup network printers (TCP/IP, Samba, or Novell NetWare Printer).

• SuSE includes the regular SETUP program from the original apsfilter package (with some enhancements); run

lprsetup

to invoke this configuration script. Once you get accustomed to its GUI, you'll be able to configure local and network printers.

Invocation of YaST2 On the Gnome desktop select YaST2 Menu Button (on the panel) =>

Yast Control Center => Hardware => Edit Printers to start the Printer Configuration tool. On the KDE desktop select YaST Menu Button (on the panel) => Yast2 modules => Hardware => Edit printers to start the

graphic version.

Print Queues SuSE and YaST2 differ between these printer connections:

• Local printers (Parallel, Serial and Disk File)

• LPD protocol network printing (Forward queue to a remote LPD and

Prefiltered queue for an LPD forwarding queue)

• Other network printing (Samba/Windows, Novell)

The SuSE installation manual explains the setup procedures in detail.

AXIS axinstall Script

Having performed the basic TCP/IP setup procedures as defined earlier in this manual, you are now able to print in interactive mode using PROS, LPR, FTP or Reverse Telnet protocols. However, if you want to integrate the AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ with your host spooler, you can use the Axis automatic installation script axinstall. The axinstall script is available from ftp://ftp.axis.com/pub_soft/prt_srv/utility/axinstall/latest/

After executing this script, the printer connected to the print server will appear as though it is directly connected to the host printer spooler.

If you intend to use the print server in a multi-protocol environment, refer to the chapters pertaining to the respective operating systems in this manual.

When the axinstall script has been downloaded to your host, execute the script with this command:

sh axinstall

You will be guided through the installation by a step-by-step procedure. During the installation you will be asked to select a print method; we suggest you choose LPD or, for more functionality, use the PROS filter or named pipe methods. Please refer to the following pages if you need guidance on the choice of print methods.

sh ./axinstall

(depending on your system).

Note: NLPRng is not supported by axinstall.

The axinstall script will suggest one of the systems listed below when started. If you do not find the suggestion appropriate, then manually select any of the systems listed.

Print Methods on TCP/IP Networks

The AXIS 5400+/AXIS 5600+ supports several different print methods in the TCP/IP environment. axinstall will suggest a print method suitable for your particular UNIX/Linux system, but you might want to use another method depending on your printing requirements (banner pages, status logging, etc).

The diagram below shows the alternative data paths taken by some of the UNIX/Linux print methods. This illustrates some of the advantages and limitations of the different methods. Use the following information to determine which method to adopt.

About AXIS Print

Utility for OS/2

Notes:

Installing the

Axis Network Print

Server

AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:

• Install and maintain the print server’s printer port as an OS/2 printer port.

• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the print server’s ports.

Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server mode). The printer port status of your print server can be monitored and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.

• The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS (LAN Server) or SETUP (LAN Manager) to activate it.

• If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through TCP/IP, we recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2 product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print methods.

1. When AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is running, click Install

Install to install your

Upgrading using FTP To upgrade over the network using FTP you will need a file with the new

print server firmware. The name of this file is in the form

product_version.bin

Caution!

Be careful not to interrupt the file transfer. If the transfer is interrupted, the print server may have to be re-initialized by your dealer.

The objective of this example is to upgrade a print server with firmware version 6.41 to firmware version 7.00.

The description below from a typical Windows session uses the following examples:

• Print server model: AXIS 5400+

• IP address of print server: 10.13.4.105

• New firmware version name: 5400p_v2_7_00.bin

• Location of firmware and upgrade procedure: C:\Axis (Create a new directory named e.g. ‘Axis’ on your hard drive and download the firmware to that location).

Using SNMP

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remotely monitoring and configuring of the Axis Network Print Server. All major functions for print servers are supported.

General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including a

protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects. The Axis Network Print Server SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IP environment.

The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System) software running on a host on your network. The NMS software communicates with network devices by the means of messages, which are references to one or more objects.

A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a standard database.

System Requirements

for SNMP

The AXIS MIB The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be

The Axis Network Print Server supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and also includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on page

95.

The following requirements must be fulfilled in order to make full use of the Axis Network Print Server SNMP support:

• NMS software that allows you to install private enterprise MIBs

• A host, supporting FTP, on which to run the NMS software

Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:

1. Log in to the Axis Network Print Server using FTP.

2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the NMS host.

3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS software documentation.

Autodetect Printer Type

Configuration Possibilities

The print server can automatically detect the type of printer you are using if you enable Autodetect Printer Type. The print server can then recognize Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers. Most Epson and Hewlett Packard InkJet printers that have Mac OS printer drivers for network printing are supported. If Autodetect Printer Type is disabled, the AppleTalk printer type has to be specified manually in the print server. For Epson InkJets it would be "EPSONLQ2" and for HP InkJets it would be "DeskWriter". If the print server does not recognize the connected printer the default setting, "LaserWriter" will be used as printer type. "LaserWriter" is the recommended setting to be used with all PostScript printers.

IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)

The Axis Network Print Server enables printing over the Internet with IPP (Internet Printing Protocol), an industry standard that allows users to print to remote printers across the Internet.

With IPP, a user with an Internet connection can send a document to any printer which is connected to the Internet. IPP is platform independent and can be used to print over any LAN or WAN that supports TCP/IP.

In practical terms, this means that you can send documents to a remote printer as an addition to or replacement of fax and e-mail, with the same
