Notes:
Setting Parameters
In AppleTalk, you can change a limited number of the parameters of the AXIS
OfficeBasic USB. You can:
•
enable and disable binary data transfers for your printing
•
select the type of binary transfer protocol to use
•
specify the AppleTalk printer type
•
set the IP address
However, by assigning an IP address to your print server, you have access to all
of the print server parameters via any standard Web browser or via FTP. Refer
to
Section 6 Print Server Management Methods
, on page 34 for more
information.

print server. You should select values that are appropriate for your printers
and network settings.
