Setup for
Peer-to-Peer Printing
Follow these steps to install your AXIS 540/640 for peer-to-peer
printing at a Windows NT workstation:
1. Double-click the AXIS Print Utility icon.
2. In the Port menu, click Add.
3. In the NPS Port list, select the AXIS 540/640 port to be installed.
The port appears as <name>.LP1, where <name> is AX followed
by last six digits of your print server number e.g. AX100086.LP1.
However, this alphanumeric name will be superseded by any new
name given to your AXIS 540/640 when using AXIS NetPilot.
4. Accept or change the suggested Windows Port name, and type
any comments in the Description field. Make a note of the
Windows Port name as you will need this later, then click OK to
install the Windows Port.
5. In the Port menu, click Connect to bring up Print Manager.
6. In the Printer menu, click Create Printer.
7. Type a name in the Printer Name field, select a suitable printer
driver from the Driver list, and select Other... in the Print to list.
8. In the Print Destinations dialog, select Local Port, then click OK.
9. In the Port Name field, type: C:\~\<port>
where C:\~ is your spool directory, and <port> is the Windows
Port name from step 4. Click OK.
10. Close the Print Manager.
The setup is completed and you can now print through your AXIS
540/640.
Note: ❏ 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.
