NetWare
By following the instructions detailed below, install your AXIS

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.

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

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.

Monitor then allows users to access to all network printers, just as if
they were connected directly to their workstation.
