Client-Server Printing:
Server Setup
Follow these steps to install your AXIS 540/640 for client-server
printing at a Windows for Workgroups server:
1. Choose a workstation that you want to use as server for network
printing. The server must be available at all times and must have
sufficient hard disk space for spooling print jobs.
2. Make sure that the printer sharing option is enabled. (Open
Network Setup, click Sharing..., check the ‘I want to be able to
allow others to print to my printer(s)’ box).
3. Install AXIS Print Utility for Windows on the server.
4. Set up your AXIS 540/640 as described under Setup for
Peer-to-Peer Printing, on page 53.
5. Open Print Manager and select your printer.
6. In the Printer menu, select Share Printer As...
7. Type a printer name in the Share As field (this is the printer name
seen by the clients, see Client Setup below).
Check the Re-share at Startup box, then click OK.
The server setup is now completed. Set up the clients as described
below.
Note: The AXIS Print Utility for Windows must be running when you
print through your AXIS 540/640. We strongly recommend that
you copy the AXIS Print Utility icon into your StartUp folder.
