Section 1: Introduction Features and Benefits Reliability The AXIS 1440 Print Server provides high performance and reliability combined with low power consumption. The electronic circuits are based on the AXIS ETRAX chip, which is made up of an integrated 32 bit RISC processor and associated network controllers. Flexibility It supports printing in several operating systems and environments, including NetWare, Windows, OS/2, UNIX, Macintosh and TCP/IP. Speed The AXIS ETRAX chip, which is specifically designed for LAN products, provides users with faster transmission than a direct PC-toprinter connection. It has a sustained data transmission of up to 450 Kb per second. Easy to Install If you have a NetWare network or network supporting NetBIOS/NetBEUI, you can install and configure the AXIS 1440 in minutes using AXIS NetPilot. Security You can assign passwords to restrict both login and printer access. Monitoring The AXIS NetPilot software and the internal AXIS 1440 web pages allow you to continuously monitor printer status. The AXIS Print Monitor for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT displays pop-up messages showing the status of peer-to-peer print jobs. Futureproof Because you can upgrade AXIS 1440 flash memory over the network, you can take advantage of new print server software as soon as it becomes available. All software upgrades are free of charge. Pocket-sized The AXIS 1440 is equipped with one high-speed parallel connector that connects directly to the printer´s parallel port. 8 AXIS 1440 User's Manual
