Section 3: Setting Up - NetWare
Print Server Mode In this mode the AXIS 540/640 logs in to a file server(s) and repeatedly polls the print queues for print jobs. In this fashion, the AXIS 540/640 emulates a NetWare print server, that is a workstation running PSERVER. It provides high printing speed with low network load and is the recommended mode for medium to large sized networks. Each print server in PSERVER mode will occupy one NetWare license.
Advantages • Easy to set up.
•High performance (typically
Limitations • Requires a NetWare user licence for each AXIS 540/640 to file server link.
Remote Printer Mode | In this mode the AXIS 540/640 connects itself to a PSERVER | |
| NetWare program running on the file server, or alternatively to a | |
| dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE. It then automatically | |
| receives print jobs from the file server. In this fashion, the AXIS | |
| 540/640 emulates a workstation running the NetWare remote printer | |
| software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is only | |
| recommended for small networks where the number of NetWare user | |
| licences is a major issue. | |
Advantages | • | NetWare user licences are not required. |
| • Easy to set up. | |
Limitations | • Lower performance, e.g. typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM. | |
| • | Higher network load. |
