72 AXIS 540+/AXIS 560
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 540+/AXIS 560 with your host
spooler, you can use the Axis automatic installation script axinstall. This utility
software is resident in the print server and can be downloaded to your host
using FTP, so no disks are required. The axinstall script is also available from
www.axis.com
Having completed this operation, 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.
Integration with the
Host Printer Spooler
To integrate the AXIS 540+/AXIS 560 with the host printer spooler, you can use
