Installing under Windows
AX3000 Models 80 and 85 - User's Manual 91
Select the dialog box of the 'Printer port' (menu [Configuration]-[Ports]-[xxx]). For example, the
Aux1 port:
Set the 'Active' parameter to 'As Printer' or 'As Printer and COM'. Then select 'Printer Parameters'.
The following box is displayed:
These parameters are:
- Printer Name: name of the Windows printer
- Windows Native Driver: printer driver name. It is ESSENTIAL that the value entered here
matches the printer driver name exactly as installed on the server. If the match is not exact
Windows will not be able to connect the printer to the driver and the printer will not be added
to the Windows spooler.
- Time-out (sec): in event of a printer error (no paper, off-line, etc.), this is the delay before
the thin client reports the error to Windows.
- Save Printing Option: when the default printer configuration is modified (on the server side),
this option allows the thin client to store this configuration (in the AX3000 Local Store). See
Chapter 3.6.5.
The printer declaration is completed. For the redirection procedure, consult the sub-section c).
b) Declaring a Redirected COM/LPT Port
On an RDP/ICA connection a redirected COM/LPT port will be automatically added to the Windows
server resources. It will be removed on disconnection. Maximum two ports can be redirected.
Before being redirected an RDP/ICA COM Port must be declared at the 'physical port' level. The
available ports are: auxiliary ports (parallel, Aux1 and Aux2) and USB logical ports.
