NetWare  
NetWare  
By following the instructions detailed below, install your AXIS  
PrintPoint 140 BJC with the AXIS NetPilot™ Installation Wizard,  
supplied on the AXIS Utilities Diskette. Please note that AXIS  
NetPilot™ software requires a Windows platform that uses  
NetWare or NetBIOS/NetBEUI.  
1. Load the AXIS NetPilot™ software by following the instructions  
on the label of the AXIS Utilities diskette. After loading the  
software, double-click on the AXIS NetPilot™ icon. AXIS  
NetPilot™ then scans the network for all connected Axis  
Network Print Servers.  
2. AXIS Units previously installed using the AXIS NetPilot™  
appear as ‘Network Print Servers’ and un-installed units are  
featured as ‘New Axis Units’. Select your AXIS PrintPoint 140  
BJC from the ‘New Axis Units’ sub-folder and then click on the  
Install icon. The Installation Wizard guides you through the  
basic installation.  
Click the Help icon should you require assistance throughout any  
stage of the operation.  
To set up print queues:  
1. Open the ‘Network Print Servers’ folder and select the Network  
Print Server you wish to setup.  
2. Choose ‘Network’ from the Toolbar or Setup menu.  
3. A new ‘Network environments’ window will now be open. From  
this window you may create new print queues, connect to  
previously established queues, and/or select the mode of  
operation (Print Server or Remote Printer) for each printer.  
To set up the advanced operating parameters:  
1. Open the ‘Network Print Servers’ folder and select the Network  
Print Server you wish to setup.  
2. Choose Properties from the Toolbar or Setup menu.  
3. A set of ‘tabbed’ Property Pages will open which allow you to  
refine the chosen mode of operation, e.g. password protection,  
frame type selection and/or setting of the queue polling interval.  
The NetWare Configuration is now complete and you can close the  
AXIS NetPilot™.  
To verify that the AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC is functioning correctly,  
we recommend that you print a document from within a Windows  
application, e.g. Microsoft Word. Please ensure that your printer is  
selected as the Active Printer.  
 
Windows  
Supplied on the AXIS Utilities diskette, the AXIS Print Monitor  
should be used for network printing within Windows 95 and  
Windows NT environments. It allows AXIS Network Print Servers  
to be connected in the same simple fashion as a local printer port and  
once installed, is automatically initialized upon system startup.  
The AXIS Print Utility for Windows is also supplied on the AXIS  
Utilities diskette and is the tool for network printing within  
Windows for Workgroups and Windows 3.1 environments.  
Follow the instructions on the AXIS Utilities diskette label to install  
the appropriate printing tool for your environment.  
Windows 95 and NT  
The AXIS Print Monitor needs to be installed on each workstation  
performing peer-to-peer printing. Once installed, the AXIS Print  
Monitor then allows users to access to all network printers, just as if  
they were connected directly to their workstation.  
Peer-to-peer printing:  
Although the AXIS Print Monitor user dialog will vary slightly  
dependent upon which platform you are using, Windows 95 or  
Windows NT, the functionality of the two variants is exactly the  
same. Follow the procedure below to install Axis printer ports:  
1. To start the Add Printer Wizard, select Settings - Printers from  
the Start Menu and double-click on the Add Printer icon.  
2. After clicking Next> in the first dialog the Wizard will ask you  
to select between Local Printer/My Computer (Windows 95/  
NT) and Network Printer. Select Local Printer/My Computer.  
3. Choose an appropriate print driver for your printer. If the  
desired print driver already appears within the displayed  
manufacturer and model lists dialog, click Next> and proceed  
to step 6.  
4. Click the Have Disk... button. Insert the print driver diskette  
into the floppy disk drive of your computer. If the floppy disk  
drive is A:/ then click OK, otherwise type the letter of your disk  
drive and then click OK.  
5. Select the desired printer you want to install from the diskette  
and click Next>.  
6. Select the AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC port to be installed. The  
port appears as <name>.LP1, where <name> is AX followed by  
last six digits of the AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC serial number.  
For example: AX560B35.  
7. Click on the Configure Port button and choose when Pop-up  
messages are to displayed from the Configure AXIS Printer  
Ports dialog. Check the appropriate boxes and then click  
Next>.  
 
8. Enter an appropriate name for your printer and click Next>  
9. Choose whether you wish to produce a Test Page and then  
click Finish.  
Client-server printing:  
The AXIS Print Monitor is not needed on the client platforms for  
client-server printing.  
Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups  
All Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups users requiring  
access to a network printer in peer-to-peer mode, will need to install  
the AXIS Print Utility for Windows onto their workstations.  
Client-server printing:  
This print method is suitable for larger networks and require only  
one user to install the AXIS Print Utility for Windows software onto  
their workstation. The setup procedure is described below:

2. Setup your AXIS PrintPoint 140 BJC from the file server as  
described in the peer-to-peer printing section below, but  
additionally check the Share box for your printer.  
Your shared printers can now be used by all the Windows clients and  
do not need to install the AXIS Print Utility on the clients.  
Important note:  
The server setup described above should only be made on a  
Windows for Workgroup workstation.  
Peer-to-Peer printing:  
This print method does not require a file server and is recommended
