Using Logical Printers to Customize your Printing

The Axis Network Print Server has a powerful facility for altering the

print data. This means that your desired print format can be realized on

any type of printer. The following actions can be invoked from the Axis

The default Network Speed value is AUTO_SENSE. This option is the correct
option for the majority of users. If you choose the incorrect network speed
option for your network, you may lose contact with the print server. In order
to reset the Network Speed parameter to AUTO_SENSE, you will have to
perform a factory default on the print server.

In Macintosh environments, the

ad hoc mode is referred to as computer to computer mode

and the

infrastructure mode is referred to as Airport network.
