The following services are available from the Admin mode. An additional
link to the Axis home page is available from this mode.
This Print Server
The
This Print Server
page contains a section that allows you to view and
modify the general parameter settings of the print server, including print
server name, node address, password and base URL. Management
operations, like restarting the print server and resetting most of its
parameters to their software default values, are also available.
By clicking on a printer icon, a printer page opens, allowing you to view
the status and the supported capabilities of the connected printer. The
extent of this information depends on the printer model. From the printer
page, you can also send a test page to the selected printer.
Print Jobs
From the
Print Jobs
page you can view the status of the current print
jobs, including the number of printed bytes and the origin of the print
job. You can also view a log of the 20 latest print jobs that includes user,
printing protocol and file size. A log that displays the accumulated usage
of the connected printers allows you to control the usage of the connected
printers.
To delete an ongoing print job, use the delete button next to the job.
Network Settings
From the
Network Settings
page you can set all parameters that control
the network traffic to and from the print server. You can enable or disable
network protocols and fine-tune parameter settings. For additional
information, see the Online Help.
Caution!
Support

you can receive assistance to resolve any
installation or print problems that might occur. If your problems persist,
the Support page also allows you to produce a Server Report. The Server
Report includes the settings of the print server, information about your
connected printers as well as current network settings. The Server Report
is of great value for support assistance, so please mail, email or fax it to
your support channel together with a detailed description of the problem.

from the print server as well as information about the connections to
different network servers and services.

management activities that can be performed from the internal Web
pages of the print server. Theses activities include instructions on how to
install the print server in various environments and how to upgrade it
