About AXIS Print
Utility for OS/2
AXIS Print Utility for OS/2 is an application for NetBIOS/NetBEUI
printing in the OS/2 environment. Its allows you to:
•
Install and maintain the AXIS 5600+ printer ports as OS/2
printer ports.
•
Capture and monitor print jobs directed to the AXIS 5600+
ports.
Print jobs are directed through a spool directory located on your local
hard disk (peer-to-peer mode), or on the file server (client-server
mode). The printer port status of your AXIS 5600+ can be monitored
and pop-up notification messages can be generated, keeping you
informed of completed print jobs or any problem condition.
Notes:
❏
The NetBEUI protocol must be active. If not, use MPTS/LAPS
(LAN Server) or SETUP (LAN Manager) to activate it.
❏
If you are using OS/2 version 2.x and wish to print through
TCP/IP, we recommend that you use the IBM TCP/IP for OS/2
product. It supports the LPD and interactive FTP print methods.
