User’s Printing Guide
This guide covers the procedures needed to setup your workstation
for printing through the AXIS 540/640 network print server, once it
has been properly installed. If you need further assistance, please ask
your Network Administrator or refer to the AXIS 540/640 User’s
Manual, or the AXIS 540/640 Quick Installation Guide.
AXIS 540/640 makes printing easier
The AXIS 540/542 and AXIS 640/642 are stand alone network print
servers for Ethernet and Token Ring environments respectively.
Using the AXIS 540/640 makes it possible to connect your printers
anywhere in the network, giving all users access to shared printer
resources.
The AXIS 540/640 plugs directly in to your printer and makes it
appear as a normal printer when printing from your workstation.
Your Network Administrator will have given this printer a name
during the installation of the AXIS 540/640. You will need this
name when making your printer selection.
Fast and easy to use
You will find that printing via the AXIS 540/640 is very fast due to
its rapid data throughput of up to 390 kbytes per second. Also high
speed Centronics communication, such as Hewlett-Packard Fast
Mode, is supported.
The AXIS 540/640 is extremely user friendly, because of its powerful
built in features. It can communicate with all the major computer
systems and network protocols. These different protocols can be
handled simultaneously making the AXIS 540/640 the ideal print
server solution for a mixed environment.

Choose the print instruction appropriate to your type of system:
BSD systems: lpr -P<printer name> <file name>
System V systems: pr -d<printer name> <file name>

Your NetworkAdministrator will be able to supply you with the

print.
