Queue-based Printing Methods
The following overview explains the advantages and limitations of the two supported queue-based printing
methods.
Print Server Mode
Remote Printer Mode
The AXIS 5570e logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion,
the AXIS 5570e emulates a NetWare print server, which is a workstation running PSERVER. It provides high
printing speed with low network load and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each
print server in PSERVER mode takes one NetWare user license.
Advantages
• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s
Limitations
• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence for each AXIS
5570e to file server link.
The AXIS 5570e acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running on the NetWare file server, or to a
dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE. In this fashion, the AXIS 5570e emulates a workstation
running the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is only recommended for
small networks where the number of NetWare user licences is a major issue.
Advantages
• NetWare user licences are not required.
Limitations
• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM.
• Higher network load.
