         Appendix A   -  DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF RELEASE  App A

          Product involved: AXIS 5400

          Software version: 5.57

           1. A hardware signal is read during startup. The settle time can
              vary with ambient temperature. This could cause the wrong value
              to be read which in turn causes the startup-sequence to be
              terminated.

          Appendix B   - SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS                       App B

          Product involved: AXIS 5400

          Software version: 5.57

          1. Secondary printer function doesn't work when printing from AXPUW
             nor AXIS Print Monitor.

          2. The maximum number of simultaneous TCP connections is set to 200.
             If many users are monitoring the status or accounting web pages,
             all connections may under rare circumstances be consumed by the
             automatic refresh function. This can cause problems accepting new
             print jobs using TCP/IP printing protocols.
