Setting Up the AXIS 1440 on the Network  
The AXIS NetPilot Installation Wizard enables you to install and  
configure the AXIS 1440 for your network quickly and easily. You  
can use it to configure the print server for multiple network  
protocols: NetWare, NetBIOS/NetBEUI, TCP/IP, SNMP, and  
Apple EtherTalk. However, you must run it on a Windows  
workstation (or an OS/2 workstation in a Win OS/2 window)  
connected to a NetWare or NetBIOS/NetBEUI network.  
If your network only supports TCP/IP, you can use ARP, DHCP,  
RARP, or BOOTP to assign an IP (Internet) address. (See Section 3  
in the AXIS 1440 User’s Manual for more information.) Then go to  
Setting Up Windows Workstations later in this guide to configure the  
printer ports for your Windows workstations.

Notes:  
You must already have installed AXIS NetPilot on you Windows  
workstation before you begin these procedures.  
If you’re using AXIS NetPilot to set up the print server from a  
Windows NT workstation, your display should not be set to a  
generic video driver, such as VGA compatible. Before you start  
AXIS NetPilot, make sure your display is set to the exact video  
driver for your hardware. (Check your computer documentation  
if you’re unsure of the correct video driver.) If you need to reset  
your display setting, restart your computer before you begin these  
procedures.  
If you have a NetBIOS/NetBEUI network, you may only want  
to use the AXIS NetPilot Installation Wizard if you want to  
change the default print server name. Otherwise, skip this  
procedure and go to Setting Up Windows Workstations later in  
this guide.

want. (If your network has no zones, this box doesn’t appear).  
The default AXIS 1440 printer name appears in the right-hand  
frame. The printer name is shown as: AXIS<nnnnnn>_<port>,  
where <nnnnnn> is the last six digits of the AXIS 1440 serial  
number, and <port> is LPT1 (for example,  
AXIS100086_LPT1).  
4. Click the printer name. By doing so you will detect if the AXIS  
1440 is correctly connected to the printer.  
5. Use the radio buttons to enable or disable background printing.
