Novell NetWare Hardware Step-By-Step

Note the LED activity on the printer. The green link LED is ON whenever it is connected to an active network. The amber traffic LED is flickering when data is being received.

1.Verify the following:

■The cable connections: Use a new cable or connectors if possible

■Which port your printer is attached to. Connect a functioning network device to your printer to test the port.

2.Print the “Configuration Page” from your printer. For information about printing Configuration pages, go to Reference/Features/Front Panel.

3.Review the Connectivity Settings and verify these items:

■NetWare is enabled

■Frame Type matches the frame type of the desired file server

Note

To determine your NetWare IPX frame type, type config at the Novell console screen. On large networks, using multiple IPX frame types, it is critical that the frame type be set correctly.

■PDL is set to your desired PDL (PostScript or PCL) or to Auto

■NDS Tree (for NetWare 4.x NDS and later) is set for the correct NDS tree name

■NDS Context (for NetWare 4.x NDS and later) is set for the correct NDS Context

■Print Server (PServer) Name is set for the name selected for the Phaser printer to act as a print server

■Novell Mode is correctly set

4.If changes are made, reset the printer. Once the printer has been reset, allow approximately two minutes for the printer to go through a self test, then log onto the network server.

5.Print out another copy of the “Configuration Page” to verify that the items you modified were set and kept.
