Main Features
Reliability The AXIS 540/640 hardware provides high performance and
reliability combined with low power consumption. The electronic
circuits are based on the proven AXIS ETRAX chip that comprises an
integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers.
Flexibility It supports NetWare, Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows for
Workgroups, OS/2, Macintosh, and UNIX simultaneously, and five
different print methods in the TCP/IP environment.
Speed The AXIS ETRAX chip has been specifically designed for LAN
products and benefits users with a significantly faster throughput than
a direct PC-to-printer connection. The AXIS 540/640 has a sustained
data throughput of up to 390 kbytes per second. It also supports high
speed Centronics communication such as Hewlett-Packard Fast
Mode, High Speed and IBM Fast Byte is supported.
Easy to Install Without being a computer expert you can install the AXIS 540/640 in
minutes, allowing you to quickly realise the benefits afforded by
workgroup printing. The AXIS NetPilot installation software includes
a user friendly installation wizard. Together with the axinstall script
for UNIX workstations this allows installation into all of the AXIS
540/640 networking environments.
For TCP/IP networks your favourite Web browser may also act as a
convenient configuration tool. Links provided within the AXIS
540/640 Web pages allow modification of the configuration
parameters and quick access to useful information.
