IPP is a client/server type protocol whichcomprises two industry standards:• the 1.0 standard, which uses an http:// address scheme• the 1.1 standard, which uses an ipp:// address schemeExample using aHost Namein the 1.0 Standard:If “axisps” is the host name of the print server, "631" is the port numberand "LPT1" is the local printer port name, then the syntax of the addressscheme will be http://axisps:631/LPT1 in the 1.0 standard.Example using anIP Addressin the 1.1 Standard:If “171.16.5.218” is the IP address of the print server and "LPT1" is thelocal printer port name, then the syntax of the address scheme will beipp://171.16.5.218/LPT1 in the 1.1 standard.IPP User Requirements The IPP protocol does not require any special configuration of the AXIS5570e, the IPP function is automatically activated when you install yourprint server.IPP is platform independent and functional in Windows (NT, 98, Me and2000/XP/2003), Macintosh, NetWare and UNIX/Linux.FirewallConsiderations withIPPIf there are one or more firewalls between the IPP client and the server,you may have to make some changes to the firewall configuration. IPPuses TCP Port 631 for printing, so any firewalls between client and servermust be configured to allow bi-directional traffic on that port.
