Connecting a printer to the Ethernet Network
Follow the instructions below to connect a printer to the network via
the AXIS 540+/542+ print server.
Caution! ❏ The AXIS 540+/542+ external power supply you are using must
be marked with the correct voltage! Refer to Package Contents, on
page 13.
1. Make sure that the printer is switched off and that the AXIS
540+/542+ external power supply is disconnected.
2. Locate the serial number, found on the underside label of the
AXIS 540+/542+, and write it down. You will need this number
later during the network configuration.
3. Connect the AXIS 540+/542+ to the printer, either directly to the
parallel printer port, or using the optional printer cable extension
with the optional velcro ribbons.
4. Connect your AXIS 540+/542+ to the network using a twisted
pair (10baseT) or thin wire (10base2) cable.
5. Switch on the printer and connect the external power supply to
the AXIS 540+/542+. The power indicator lights. If the network
indicator starts to flash, the AXIS 540+/542+ is successfully
connected to the network.
6. Press and release the test button on the AXIS 540+/542+ to print
a test page. If the printer and the AXIS 540+/542+ are correctly
connected, the AXIS 540+/542+ internal test page will be printed.
You are now ready to install your server onto your network using one
of the methods detailed in the Installation Guide, on page 25.
