Setup for peer-to-
peer printing
Follow these steps to install your NPS 550 for peer-to-peer printing at a
Windows NT workstation:
1. Double-click the Axis Print Utility.
2. In the Port menu, click Add.
3. In the NPS Port list, select the NPS 550 port you want to install.
The ports appear as <name>.LP1, <name>.LP2 and <name>.CM2,
where <name> is the NPS 550 print server name (AXIS... is abbrevi-
ated to AX...).
4. Accept or change the suggested Windows port name, and type any
comments in the Description field. Make a note of the Windows port
name (you will need it later), then click OK to install the Windows
port.
5. In the Port menu, click Connect to bring up Print Manager.
6. In the Printer menu, click Create Printer.
7. Type a name in the Printer Name field, select a suitable printer driver
from the Driver list, and select Other... in the Print to list.
8. In the Print Destinations dialog, select Local Port, then click OK.
9. In the Port Name field, type: C:\~\<port>
where C:\~ is your spool directory, and <port> is the Windows port
name from step 4. Click OK.
10.Close the Print Manager.
The setup is now completed and you can immediately print through your
NPS 550.
Important: Axis Print Utility must be running when you print through
your NPS 550. We strongly recommend that you copy the Axis Print
Utility icon into your Startup folder.
