          instructions:       See upgrinfo.txt document


          ---------------------------------------------------------------------

          Important:

          -  The 5.52 print server software requires an upgrade to 
             NetPilot 2.50 or better.

          -  When upgrading a unit that has a software revision lower than
             5.36, the print server will set all parameter values back to
             factory defaults.

             Please save the config file before performing upgrade.


          Easy Release Description:

           1. Improved flash loading reliability of AXIS PrintPoint 560/100
              and AXIS PrintPoint 1P 560/100. This applies to both FTP and
              IPX flash loading.

         Appendix A   -  DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF RELEASE  App A

          Product involved: AXIS PrintPoint 560/100,
                            AXIS PrintPoint 1P 560/100

          Software version: 5.52

           1. No additional information.

          Appendix B   - SOFTWARE LIMITATIONS                        App B

          Product involved: AXIS PrintPoint 560/100,
                            AXIS PrintPoint 1P 560/100

          Software version: 5.52

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

          2. There is a potential problem with sending print jobs over ftp
             to printers supporting both bitronics and PJL, when the parameter
             L1_MGM_INFO (NetPilot property pages, value "Printer Management 
             Information LPT1") is set to AUTO. The status messages sent back 
             to the user may confuse some ftp clients, and thus prevents 
             sending more than one print job over that ftp connection. This 
             is avoided if the parameter L1_MGM_INFO is set to NONE.

          3. PROS print jobs may be corrupted when printing with bitronics
             support. The problem is avoided if the parameter PRx_IN (NetPilot
             property pages value "Read-Back Port") is set to NONE.

          AXIS PrintPoint 560/100 only:

          4. There is a problem using a print server configured as a
             HP_Network_Printer in Windows environment, via the standard
             Windows add printer wizard. When printing to such a printer, 
             the job is redirected through a NetWare queue, but the user
             cannot control which queue, and thus have no control on which
             port the job will be output to.

          Software version: 5.52
 
          This release will not go into production, since the problem it
          solves only affects upgrading to 5.51.

          This release solves the brand naming problems that was present 
          in 5.51.
