Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5550. This product has been

About this Manual
This manual is applicable for an AXIS 5550 with firmware version 7.10 or

instructions on how to set up and manage the print server in various
network environments. It is intended for everyone involved in installing
and managing the print server. To fully benefit from this manual, you
should be familiar with basic networking principles.
These instructions are based on the settings in a

To reload the default parameters, you can perform a Factory
Default, which will restore most of the settings. See
