         Appendix B   - SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS                        App B

          Product involved: AXIS PrintPoint 560/100

          Software version: 5.33

          1. Secondary printer function doesn't work when printing from AXPUW.

          2. There is a potential problem with bitronics printers when the
             parameter PRx_IN is set to AUTO. Under a very heavy load of print
             jobs from several protocols simultaneously, the PROS protocol may
             interfere with the prior job. This is avoided if the parameter
             PRx_IN is set to NONE.

          3. Print servers supporting bi-directional communication on the
             parallel port must be re-started if bitronics is changed from
             enabled to disabled (or vice versa) on the printer. This depends
             on that negotiation with the printer is done during power up.

          4. The network mode, which is displayed in NetPilot and on the 
             test page, may sometimes show the wrong value. When this occur the
             correct value will be shown after the AXIS PrintPoint 560/100 has
             been restarted. Only the network mode indicator is affected. This
             problem does not concern the actual functionality of the 
             AXIS PrintPoint 560/100 and it will operate in a correct manner 
             whether connected to a 10 Mbps network or a 100 Mbps network.
