About this Manual
This manual is applicable for the AXIS 1650 print server with firmware
version 2.00 or later, providing introductory information as well as
detailed instructions on how to set up and manage the print server in
various network environments. It is intended for everyone involved in
installing and managing the print server. To fully benefit from this
manual, you should be familiar with basic networking principles.
These instructions are based on the settings in a new and unconfigured
print server. To reload the default parameters, you can perform a Factory
Default, which will restore all default settings. See “The Test Button” on
page 61.

Product Overview
Supported
Environments
Installation and
Integration
The AXIS 1650 supports printing over TCP/IP from the following clients:
•Windows 98
•Windows Me
•Windows 2000
•Windows XP
•Windows Server 2003
•Netware
The installation of the AXIS 1650 and its integration into the network is
performed using one of these software combinations:
•AXIS IP JumpStarter (for IP setting) and then AXIS CAPT Print
Monitor (for printer installation)
•Canon NetSpot Device Installer (for IP setting) and then AXIS CAPT
Print Monitor (for printer installation)
•AXIS ScanClient to enable scanning through the AXIS 1650.
AXIS IP JumpStarter, AXIS CAPT Print Monitor and AXIS ScanClient
are available free of charge from the AXIS 1650 CD and on
www.axis.com
NetSpot Device Installer is available on www.canon.com
Configuration and
Management
Configuration and management of AXIS 1650 is performed using the
TCP/IP protocol. The main method is using a standard Web browser. See
“Print Server Management from the Embedded Web Pages” on page 40.
Printing Protocol:TCP/IP
SpeedThe AXIS ETRAX chip has been specifically designed for LAN products
and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct PC-to-printer
connection. With a sustained data throughput of over 1 Mbytes per
second (100baseTX) the AXIS 1650 is fast. ECP high-speed
communication is supported.
Security:You can assign a password that restricts unauthorized configuration of
the AXIS 1650.
Monitoring:The AXIS 1650 embedded Web pages allow you to continuously monitor
printer status. Additionally, the AXIS 1650 supports SNMP for remote
monitoring.
Future proof:You can upgrade the AXIS 1650 Flash memory over the network. This
allows you to quickly update and enhance the operational features of
your AXIS 1650 when new print server software becomes available.

1.Make sure that your printer is switched off and that the print server’s
power adapter is disconnected
2.Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the print server,
and write it down. You will need this number to configure the print server.
3.Either connect the printer to the USB port using the USB cable, or connect
the printer directly to the LPT port or use a printer cable.
Note: AXIS 1650 is featured with two ports for ease of integration with
most Canon printers. There is, however, no support for handling two
connected printers simultaneously.

4.Connect the print server to the network using a shielded twisted pair
(category 5) RJ45 cable, 10baseT or 100baseTX.
5.Switch on the printer and make sure it is ready for use.
6.Connect the power adapter to the print server. The power indicator will light
up. When the network indicator starts to flash, the print server is correctly
connected to the network.

It is not possible to obtain a dynamic IP address using DHCP, since DHCP
is disabled by default in AXIS 1650. To enable DHCP in the print server,
see DHCP Enabled, on page 50. You can, however, obtain a DHCP address
for the print server via AXIS IPJumpStarter or NetSpot Device Installer. If
you choose to obtain a DHCP address for the print server from these
programs, the DHCP function will be enabled in the print server.
AXIS IP JumpStarter is an application that helps you to locate your Axis
print server on the network and assign an IP address to it.

All AXIS 1650 have the default IP address 192.168.0.90
Change this default IP address to either a
static IP address or to a DHCP address.
3.From the Server menu, select Set IP Address. The Set IP Address dialog
appears.
4.Click the radio button that corresponds to your choice of IP setting method
(static or dynamic using DHCP). When assigning a static IP address you also
have to define the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
5.Click OK to save your settings.
6.You may be prompted to enter the server root password (by default set to
<blank>), click OK and the print server will appear in the list with the
assigned IP address.
7.To verify that you have access to the print server’s Web pages, highlight the
print server in the list and select Server Home Page from the Server menu.

for instructions on how to perform name mapping on your system.
AXIS 1650 User’s Manual15
Print Server Installation
Notes•You need to know the Ethernet address of your AXIS 1650 to perform
the installation. The Ethernet address is based on the serial number of
your AXIS 1650. For example, an AXIS 1650 with the serial number of
00408C181CF0, will have the corresponding Ethernet address of 00 40
8C 18 1C F0. The serial number is located on a label on the backside of
the print server.
•DO NOT use the IP addresses shown in the following examples when
installing the AXIS 1650.
•ARP/Ping operates on single network segments only, i.e. it cannot be used over routers.
•The default host name of the print server is ’AXIS’ followed by the last 6
digits in the serial number. e.g. AXIS181636. The host name is changed
in the Print server name field in Admin | General Settings.
•The host name limitations conclude that if you want to register the
same host name at a WINS server and a DDNS server, the host name
should be no longer than 15 characters and it should only contain the
characters ‘A-Z’, ‘a-z’, ’0-9’ and ‘-’.
•Refer to your system manuals or to your network administrator for
instructions on how host name resolutions are performed on your
system.
•At least one WINS server IP address must be included in the DHCP
scope if you are using WINS. Immediately after the IP address has been
received, the AXIS 1650 registers its host name and IP address on the
WINS server.
•If the host name has not been mapped to the IP address, you can still
perform the following instructions to download the IP address. In this
case, simply replace the host name entry with the IP address wherever
required.
