Future Proof Investment


Maintaining low-speed network segments just to run printers isn’t a good solution. The AXIS PrintPoint 560/100 allows you to effortlessly connect printers to 100 Mbps networks. The auto-detection of network speed allows it to work just as smoothly in 10 Mbps networks. It is the best solution for printing in medium and large sized LANs, supporting all major systems in today’s heterogeneous network environments. Using state-of-the-art technology, it offers advanced TCP/IP support and excellent printing flexibility.
Easy to use AXIS NetPilotTM installation/configuration program guides the user through the installation with a “Wizard”. Each network protocol can be configured independently. The monitoring function alerts you if printer problems occur.
Web based management A built-in WWW server enables platform independent configuration as well as monitoring of printer status via standard Web browsers.
Fast Printing High throughput enabled by a 32-bit RISC processor, ETRAX, specifically designed for LAN products generates significantly faster throughput than connecting your printer to a PC.
Easy to upgrade Flash memory that allows network administrators to centrally perform product software updates on print servers over the network.
Cost efficient Three high-speed bi-directional ports, - two parallel and one serial -,enable connection of printers as well as serial devices,such as a plotter.
Logical Printer Concept Allows one physical printer to be used as eight virtual printers, each with customized features, such as: auto ASCII to PostScript conversion, multiple bin selection, customized strings before and after jobs, and more…
