Section 10Print Server Features

This section describes some special features offered by the AXIS 
5600+. Free firmware is available on the AXIS Product CD and on 

www.axis.com

Auto-IP 

Introduced in Firmware Version 6.20

The print server will always receive an IP-address automatically when 
connecting it to the network by means of Auto-IP. If you have a 
DHCP server running on your network, the AXIS 5600+ will receive 
an IP address immediately after you have connected it to the network. 
In the absence of a DHCP server, your AXIS 5600+ print server will 
automatically be assigned an IP-address through integrated Auto-IP. 
The Auto-IP function is enabled by default and does not require any 
configuration by the user.

E-mail Notification

Introduced in Firmware Version 6.20

Whenever an event that needs human intervention occurs in a 
network printer, the concerned person can be notified by e-mail. This 
’trouble-report’ contains a short and concise description of the event. 
Five events are covered: 

Paper Jam, Out of Paper, Toner Low, No 

Toner, Printer Off-line

. In order to determine who the e-mail 

recipients will be of these different trouble-reports, follow the 
instructions in 

Setting the e-mail Notification Parameters
