 Management Tool

 AXIS ThinWizard is a web-based management tool that provides a 
 network overview with efficient drill-down possibilities for 
 printing management and troubleshooting. It can set IP addresses,
 discover and group print servers, install new firmware and configure
 multiple Axis products concurrently. AXIS ThinWizard is available 
 for free at http://www.axis.com.

 Added features in version 6.33
 ==============================

 In Netware networks, using Q-mode over IPX, support for walk-the-tree
 is added. Now the Print Server resolves the name of the queue-volume
 even if the volume resides on a file server without any replica in the
 NDS tree.


 Corrected problems in version 6.33
 ==================================

 A static IP-address can now be set using arp/ping also when DHCP is
 enabled.

 The DHCP-option domain-name is corrected, the domain name parameter is
 updated.

 The Bitronics negotiation routines are improved. Reverse data reading 
 is improved for several printer models, e.g. Ricoh AP 2600N and 
 Ricoh 1018. Printer connectivity is improved, situations which earlier 
 resulted in connection loss is now resolved, e.g. problems where it seems
 that the printer is stuck in sleep mode, is now resolved without the 
 need to restarting the print server. 

 The serial port driver, for multiport print servers, is updated in
 order to resolve problems with stability and performance, specifically
 reading data from the serial port.

 The ERROR: 30010 problem is resolved, now the Print Server interprets 
 this as "STATUS BUFFER OVERFLOW".

 The "Processing Job"-error is corrected. On certain printers, this
 problem occured as intermittent messages showing Processing Job
 on the printer display. This error might also interrupt printing. 
 
 NetPilot will now correctly recognize the 5900 as an Axis print server.


 Known problems in version 6.33
 ==============================

 HP WebJetadmin is neither tested nor supported with this release.
 AXIS ThinWizard is recommended instead.

 Succesful paralell-port "flash-loading" might require two, or more
 attempts in some cases.

 Support for Checksums in Netware is not implemented.

 Reverse data from the APS ports is disabled. 

 Users are recommended to use the native print monitor on Win2000/XP.
