Product Overview

Thank you for purchasing the AXIS 5570e print server. This product has been developed to connect your printers
anywhere in your network, allowing all network users access to the shared printer resources.
The AXIS 5570e is a LAN attached multi-protocol print server that prints IBM and ASCII data streams to any ASCII
printer. Supporting IBM Mainframes, AS/400, NetWare, UNIX, LAN Server Manager, Windows and Apple
EtherTalk, these products are ideal for IBM Mainframe and AS/400 sites that are migrating from pure IBM networks
to LAN environments.
