About AXIS Print
Utility for OS/2
AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI
printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:
• Install and maintain the AXIS 5600 printer ports as OS/2 printer
ports.
• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5600 ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server
mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5600 can be monitored
and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you
informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.
Notes: ❏ The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS
(LAN Server) or SETUP (LAN Manager) to activate it.
❏ If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through
TCP/IP, we recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2
product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print methods.
Installing the
AXIS 5600
1. When AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is running, click Install to
install your AXIS 5600. The ports appear in the list as
<name>.LP1, <name>.LP2 and <name>.CM1, where <name> is
AX followed by the last six digits of your print server serial
number. e.g. AX100086.LP1.
2. Select the port that you want to install, then click Install.
Repeat this procedure for each server using the AXIS 5600.
Note: ❏ The AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 must be running in order to
print through your AXIS 5600. It is strongly recommended that
you modify the startup.cmd file, enabling AXIS Print Utility for
OS/2 to automatically start when your client is re-booted.
