About Axis
Axis Communications is dedicated to provide inventive solutions for network connection of
computer peripherals. Since the start in 1984, it has been one of the fastest growing companies in
the market. The headquarters are located in Lund, Sweden, with subsidiaries in Boston, Tokyo,
and Hong Kong.
Axis Communications has a distributor network operating in more than 60 countries
world-wide, marketing three product lines:
Network CD-ROM Servers -
AXIS 850/950 and AXIS 851/951 Multi-protocol CD-ROM
servers provide a flexible and cost-efficient solution for sharing CD-ROMs across the network.
They are available in Ethernet and Token Ring versions, with or without built-in drive option.

wide range of LAN protocols. The AXIS NPS 530, 532, 550 and AXIS 150, 152, 540, 542, 560,
570 are Ethernet print servers, while the AXIS NPS 630, 632, 650 and AXIS 640, 642, 660, 670

range of plug-in interfaces and stand-alone products such as the AXIS Cobra+, AXIS 330/370 Co-
bra, AXIS HP MIO, the AXIS AFP IPDS-to-PostScript converter, and the AXIS AFP MIO/IOP
IPDS-to-PCL converters.
