AXIS 560 Physical Description

Plan view of the AXIS 560

Network Connectors

The AXIS 560 is designed for 10 Mbps Ethernet networks and 
connects to the network via a twisted pair (10baseT) or a thin wire 
(10base2) cable.

Printer Ports

The AXIS 560 print server is provided with two high-speed IEEE 
1284 compatible parallel ports and one serial port. Any standard 
printer can be connected to any of the ports. Print data can be directed 
to any of the three ports simultaneously, which means that three 
different printers can be used at the same time, regardless of protocol.
