Windows
This section describes how to set up your NPS 530/532 for the
Microsoft Windows printing environment.
The NPS 530/532 setup for Windows comprises installing the NPS
530/532 printer ports as Windows printer ports, and connecting the
ports to a Windows printer driver.
Setup and printing is done using Axis Print Utility for Windows. To
install: Insert the disk included with your delivery, and choose
Run: a:\axpuw\install.exe
.
If you need to configure your NPS 530/532, refer to the User’s
Manual.
Peer-to-peer vs. Client-Server printing
The procedures below set up your NPS 530/532 for peer-to-peer
printing, which is the recommended method for smaller networks (no
file server is required). For larger networks, or if central monitoring
and priority management are required, you can set up your NPS
530/532 for client-server printing:
1. Install Axis Print Utility on the file server.
2. Set up your NPS 530/532 as described below, but check the
Share box for your printer.
Your shared printers can now be used by all Windows clients on your
network.
Windows 3.1
Windows 3.1 requires that network support such as LAN Server or
LAN Manager Workstation software is installed. If you have that,
proceed as described under Windows for Workgroups below, otherwise
we strongly recommend upgrading to Windows for Workgroups.
Windows for Workgroups
Follow these steps to install an NPS 530/532 printer port as a
Windows port, and to connect a printer driver:
1. Double-click the Axis Print Utility.
2. In the Port menu, click
Add
.
3. In the NPS Port list, select the NPS 530/532 port you want to
install.
The port appears as
<name>.LP1
, where <name> is the NPS
530/532 print server name (AXIS... is abbreviated to AX...).
