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 540/640 printer ports as OS/2
printer ports.
• Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 540/640
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 540/640 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 540/640
1. When AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is running, click Install to
install your AXIS 540/640. The port appears in the list as
<name>.LP1, 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 540/640.
Note: ❏ The AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 must be running in order to

that you modify the startup.cmd file, enabling AXIS Print Utility
for OS/2 to automatically start when your client is re-booted.
