Section 1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550. This product has
been developed to connect your printers anywhere in your network,
allowing all network users access to shared printer resources.
About this Manual
This manual is applicable for an AXIS 5500/AXIS 5550 with firmware
version 7.00 or higher, providing introductory information as well as
detailed instructions on how to set up and manage the print server in
various network environments. It is intended for everyone involved in
installing and managing the print server. To fully benefit from this
manual, you should be familiar with basic networking principles.
These instructions are based on the settings in a new and unconfigured
print server. To reload the default parameters, you can perform a Factory
Default, which will restore most of the settings. See “Performing a Factory
Default” on page 129.
