[Plug-and-print] The AXIS 150/152 is optimized for PC-based LANs of today’s smaller or departmentalized networks. It supports the most popular network operating systems simultaneously including NetWare, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, LAN Server and LAN Manager.
Optimized for
Workgroups
The AXIS 150/152 connects one or two printers to your network, enabling the workgroup to share printers.
Easy to use Without being a “computer expert” you can install the AXIS 150/152 in minutes and take advantage of workgroup printing. For NetWare users the AXIS NetPilotTM installation program offers an easy alternative to PCONSOLE. A Wizard guides the user through the installation.
Peer-to-Peer
Printing
The AXIS 150/152 permits print jobs to be sent directly from the PC to the printer without the need for a file server. Printing using a file server is, of course, still supported.
Fast Printing The 32-bit RISC processor, ETRAX, specifically designed for LAN products, generates significantly faster throughput than connecting your printer to a PC.
Easy to Upgrade AXIS 150/152 uses flash memory and with the Upgrade Wizard in NetPilotTM it’s as easy to upgrade the print server software over the network as copying a file. It also allows upgrading of several print servers simultaneously.
