User’s Manual
Section 1: Introduction

Features and Benefits
Reliability
The AXIS 560/660 print server provides high performance and
reliability combined with low power consumption. The electronic
circuits are based on the proven AXIS ETRAX chip, which comprises
an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network
controllers.
Flexibility
It supports printing in all the major computer systems and
environments, including five different print methods in the TCP/IP
environment. It also allows you to print on up to three printers
simultaneously.
The integrated IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) function allows for
printing from LAN to LAN via a WAN such as the Internet.
Speed
The AXIS ETRAX chip has been specifically designed for LAN
products and benefits users with a faster throughput than a direct PC-
to-printer connection. With a sustained data throughput of up to 400
kbytes per second, the AXIS 560/660 is fast. High speed Centronics
communication such as Hewlett-Packard Fast Mode, High Speed and
IBM Fast Byte is supported.
Easy to Install
Using the available Axis installation tools, you can install the AXIS
560/660 into any of the supported networking environments in just a
few minutes.
AXIS ControlPrint
(AXIS 660 only) You can add security to your available network print
resources by preventing pending print jobs to be printed until you
come to the printer. This feature prevents confidential information to
lie waiting in public. Management features allow you to keep track of
printer usage and costs.
AXIS ControlPrint requires a special version of the firmware and
additional server software. Please contact your Axis reseller for more
information.
