Peer-to-Peer Printing
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation to
perform peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print
Monitor allows you to access all network printers, just as if they were
connected directly to your workstation. Peer-to-peer printing offers
the following benefits:
•
You can easily monitor the status of your printers, by enabling
error condition pop-up messages.
•
You do not have to rely on a server.
Client-Server Printing
AXIS Print Monitor needs only to be installed on one server to
perform client-server printing. The installed printers must be
configured to be shared to allow clients to use them. Pop-up messages
should not be enabled on the server as they will not be displayed on
the client platforms.
Note:
❏
AXIS Print Monitor can be used for DOS printing. Please refer to
the AXIS Print Monitor’s Readme file for instructions. The
readme file is located in the same folder where AXIS Print
Monitor is installed on your PC.
