Axis Print Utility
for Windows
Axis Print Utility is a dual purpose application for network printing in the
Microsoft Windows environment. It’s two purposes are:
1. Install and maintain NPS 550 printer ports as Windows printer
ports.
Axis Print Utility automatically detects all NPS 550s on your network.
Any number of printers may be installed at any workstation.
2. Capture and monitor print jobs directed to NPS 550 ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory, either at your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode) or at the file server (Client-Server
mode). NPS 550 printer ports can be monitored, and you get a pop-
up notification message when your print job is finished.
