Section 1: Introduction

NetWare The NPS 530/532 has two different modes in the NetWare environment

Print Server Mode and Remote Printer Mode.

In Print Server Mode, the NPS 530/532 emulates a NetWare Print Server. At power-on it will log in to each file server in the network to find out which print queues are to be serviced. Up to 16 file servers and up to 96 print queues are supported.

In Remote Printer Mode, the NPS 530/532 appears as a NetWare Remote Printer. At power-on it will log in and attach to up to eight specified NetWare print servers.

Windows The NPS 530/532 is set up using the supplied Axis Print Utility for Windows. You may print through a server (client-server), or directly (peer- to-peer). The supported platforms are Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and Windows NT.

OS/2 The NPS 530/532 is integrated to the OS/2 Spooler using the supplied Axis Print Utility for OS/2. The printers attached to the NPS 530/532 will appear as connected directly to the file server, and may be used by any PC running LAN Server or LAN Manager on your network.

Unix systems The NPS 530/532 can operate as an integrated part of your system. The printers connected to the NPS 530/532 will appear as if they were connected directly to the host printer spooler.

You have several protocols and print methods to choose from. The method you should select depends on your requirements, and what system you are running. Five print methods are supported in TCP/IP: LPD, FTP, PROS A (named pipe) PROS B (filter) and Reverse Telnet.

Any host supporting the TCP/IP suite of protocols is supported by the

NPS 530/532.
